Weight Loss and Fitness Progress

To date I have lost 15.2 lbs since June 30, 2010. I began walking/jogging at a snails pace of 45 minutes to complete 3 miles. Over a several weeks I was able to improve my time but wasn't seeing significant results of weightloss. It was always the same 2.2lbs a week regardless if I ran 15 miles that week or if I ran none at all. At one point, I had so much going on with the house that I was not able to do an ounce of excerise for about 3 weeks and yet still I was able to lose 2.2lbs a week.

Seeing a picture of a dear friend who at 44 with a husband, 3 girls, career, and everything else in between being 45lbs lighter and just completing her first half iron man gave me the motivation to step up the program here. Tonight I decided to go for another 3 mile run. I either had some serious motivation or I was really well rested but in either case I was able to shave more time off my run and I am now down to 35:36.5 minutes.

My goal is to be able to celebrate my 35th birthday hotter than ever. Let's see how I do....
