Hello Skinny.....

I am 6 month into this journey to health.   On March 2 this is what a colleague said to me.  "Hello Skinny."  I did not start out this journey telling folks of my quest, and a while ago folks started to comment.  I was looking good, what was I doing.   Well Skinny I am not, but I will get there.

At 6 months I am down 60 pounds. I know you can do the math but that is about 10 pounds a month. I have completed the 30 day fitness challenge from about.com, I am into level 3 of the 30 day Shred.   I guess the third time is the charm.  I started 30 day shred during the fall and again in December only to not succeed.  I am going to succeed.  Day 10 is so close I can see it.  I have also started my couch to 5K training.  Even better my mother and sister are going to join me on race day.  John will also be there and I have my fingers crossed my sister Brigid will also run with me.

The girls I had started with have mostly burnt out, but Ellen is looking like the come back kid.  I am sure she will make her goals in time.   I do feel a little responsible for them since they kept me going, for a time.

I have inspired a few others to begin a  health and fitness journey of their own.

I am feeling great.  I am eating better I am working out and I have a wonderful support network.
My husband is also doing awesome on his fitness goals.  between us we have lost 90+ pounds , never to be found again!
