It's been a long 10 days.  I caught a summer cold that started with a sore throat and ended with bronchitits.  The bronchitis slowed me down, way down.  I skipped the gym for nearly two weeks and even walking was getting me out of breathe.  I however am on a the road to recovery. 

I hit a mile stone today.  I was 148.9 on the scale at the doctors today which qualified me for cheaper health insurance.  Yea me!

It's funny to think how far I have come over the last five and a half months.  I started my weight lose journey on January 2nd and hopefully it will end on December 31st.  I figured a full year to get to my goal would be reasonable.  After all I want to lose it and learn a new healthier lifestyle so next years journey of learning to maintain will be easier.

Anyway, today I learned just how far I've come... I was told I have to get a new picture for my YMCA card since I know longer look like my picture, I've lost 27 pounds since it was taken.  I have also tried on my oldest holyest jeans from high school (yes i kept a pair) and they fit not nearly as well as they did eleven years ago but I can pull them up and zip them without sucking in my stomach.  

This warrior dash was way harder then the two i did last year.  Instead of one giant hill there were three.  I finished in 1:01 which was good enough for 220 th place out of 1180 people in my age group.  Not too bad.
