I got straight to the point today! Down only .8 lb, but I took 1 inch off waist, hips and bust!  So it was a good week.  Ran my Santa Shuffle and did it in a personal best of 49.40!  It was a lot different then the Boogie I ran in the spring, but still good.  They weren't doing time at all, but I had my endomondo on to track my time so I could know for me.  Plus, they only had 109 medals available, since they didn't expect the high turn out, and I was able to get a medal!  I was very proud of myself, and got overly emotional about the whole thing!  My sister ran me in and was very supportive, then when I came to the last .5 km, my whole family was there waiting for me. They all ran me in and it felt so amazing and just the push I needed.  I can't tell you how good it felt!   The picture is of my sister on the left...she is the one training for a full marathon, and my inspiration.  On the right is my gorgeous, amazing niece, and smack dab in the centre is a very nervous me.  I always get really, really nervous before a race.  Feel like I am going to get sick.  But when I start running, all is well.  So I keep trucking on.  I am really hoping next week sees me into the 220's!!! I wanna kiss these 230's goodbye! I feel good though, really good and am feeling positive about my future!  Onwards and downwards on my incredible journey!! Only 52lbs to go.  I can't wait to get my surgery and be able to run without wearing 2-3 bra's!! This week I will continue my 5km runs, 3 times a week, but will try and up it to a 4/2 split (run 4, walk 2) and keeping track of my calories, etc with spark people!  Here's to another wonderful week!
