I just went on a 5 mile training run this morning and will be running a 15K this Saturday. It's 24 degrees, 11 with the wind chill. There was a time when I wouldn't want any part of being outside in weather like this, much less run in it. Talk about going through changes.

Latest numbers. Another 3-1/2 months have passed.
I'm supposed to take my measurements on a monthly basis but that hasn't happened. I took some measurements yesterday & noticed the following changes:
Hips - 46 (down 3.5 inches since March)
Bust - 41 (down 6 inches since March)
Waist - 37 (down 5.5 inches since March)
Right thigh - 24 (down 4 inches since March)
A lot of folks have noticed that I've lost a significant amount of weight. In addition to the kudos I've received, some are bold enough to ask me about my boobs; yes, they've gotten smaller but I'm not flat-chested.

I joined Weight Watchers on February 4 and lost 14 pounds on the program so far. I came to terms with the fact that losing weight on my own wasn't going to happen. I also realized that it wasn't enough to just go to the gym but I needed to get right with food as well. I have been pretty diligent with going to the gym by doing weights & cardio. I'm currently on Week 3 of my 10K training program.

Progress & where I need to improve
I stepped on the scale this morning and noticed that I lost 6 pounds. I noticed that my jeans are a tad looser in some parts but I need to be more diligent about doing abdominal exercises; I use the machines pretty regularly but I know that floor workouts generate better results.
Over the past few weeks, I've done a great job with getting to the gym daily and staying for about 1-2 hours depending on what I'm doing.
In a previous post, I commented about my challenge with logging 30 minutes on the treadmill. I'm thrilled to state that I'm getting into my third week of doing a "couch to 5K" program which incorporates a blend of walking and running; as the weeks progress, the amount of running will increase while the amount of walking will decrease. I need to remember to focus on endurance instead of speed; when I've tried similar programs in the past, I will set the speed on the treadmill between 5.0-5.5 and I would burn myself out but now I seem to be doing well by going at a 4.5 pace. I'm registered for a 5K that will take place on March 4th and it will be nice to trim 5-10 minutes from my time. If I lose about 10-15 pounds by the 5K, that should be doable.
I'm also swimming 3 days per week. Yesterday, I was able to swim 900 yards pretty much non-stop. The program that I'm using will help me build my ability to swim 1,650 yards (one mile) at the end of six weeks. For this, I'm also focusing on endurance instead of speed. I'm sure my speed will increase as my weight decreases.
In addition to swimming & running, I'm also riding the stationary bikes and using the weight machines. Hopefully, I will be able to get on the road with my bike at the end of March and start training for a few bike events.

Starting point - measurements 1/2/2012
An effective way to see how one is progressing is to perform measurements along the way. I would like to check my progress on a weekly progress so here we go...
Weight - 234 lbs
Waist - 44"
Hips - 56"
Bust - 51"
Chest - 38"
Right calf - 16"
Right thigh - 31"
Right bicep - 13"
Right forearm - 10"
Approx BMI - 40.2
My iPod is charging to I can head over to the gym to spend time on the bike & the treadmill. I marked my calendar for the Montauk Century and the NYC Bike Tour taking in May and would like to participate in both events. To prepare, I found a training program through Google geared towards preparing for a century ride in two months.
Running is another challenge and I found a bunch of programs. I'm starting with a 5K program that I found that allow me to prepare for a 5K in 9 weeks by using the treadmill. This week, I will have 3-30 minute sessions that is split between running & walking (more walking) and I will gradually increase my running time as the weeks progress.
