More Training

This week has been pretty good with training. Monday night, not even a calendar event, 5 people showed up! It was great. I didn't do as much as I should have but it was 90 degrees at 7pm, so that's fine.
Tonight was even better. 10 of us were at the track and we all paired up. 2 walkers, 2 joggers, and 3 pairs of trainers-all at different paces. We did a mile and a half of jogging. It was a half of mile 3 times with a 1/4 mile in between. I am just really really proud of how well we are doing.
I couldn't believe the scale this morning. This is the absolute lowest I have weighed in 2 years. I got on the scale-still half alseep- and looked at what it was. I didn't believe it! So I got off, reset it, moved it and got back on... same exact weight!! I have lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. This is amazing!
And I can't believe this even more... I can't wait to get on the scale tomorrow and see if it changes. How crazy is that?? I NEVER thought I would ever say that. I'm just proud of how this is going.
Because of how well I am doing at the training and the results on the scale, I even WANT to eat healthier. I'm thinking of that as I go. Yeah, I thought of going to the vending machine at work this afternoon for a candybar, but I didn't do it. I thought of the training and of the scale and of all the results I am starting to see, and I choose NOT to eat that candy bar. That's a big deal for me.
My biggest challenge right now is to do 2 things outside my comfort zone this month. I don't know what to do! I might end up going to the movies alone, but I have SO much going on so finding the time is a little challenging. I think this decision, keeping with the 2 things per month, has made a big difference in my life. I am more confident and more open to try new things. I mean really, a 5K? And to be 1/2 way through the training for it? Really? Me? I don't think so. But I am doing it! I organized it and I am doing it! Now THAT is something I never thought of this past New Years!
If I had more money, then my life would be perfect. Otherwise I am very very happy with my life. :)
