I've had some scale victories recently and also some non-scale victories. On to the scale first. I'm down almost another 3 pounds. I'm getting closer and closer to that 200 pound mark. I would like to be under 200 pounds by April 1. So five pounds in three weeks. I've started running again. I ran years ago, like almost a decade ago. I started again after my surgery back when I was living in Rhode Island and I've kicked it up a bit since returning to Texas. I hit the 3 mile threshold this morning. Woohoo! So now I'm running 4-5 times a week and also doing Zumba twice a week. On Friday last week I even pulled a double - I ran in the morning and took a Zumba class that evening. I've never been someone who will work out twice in one day. Heck, I was lucky if I would work out once a day.
Getting close to that 3 mile mark, I made the leap and signed up for my first 5K in about 10 years. When I was living in Watertown oh so many moons ago, I did the Race for the Cure 5K. I signed up for the Fort Worth Zoo Run. Who doesn't want to run through the zoo? The run is in just under 3 weeks and I'm getting excited about it.
Now, on to the non-scale victories. I've dropped 2 ring sizes. I had been a size 9 on my ring finger, and now I'm a 7. Also, I bought jeans at the Gap, size 16. I can hardly believe it. I can't tell you the last time I bought pants at the Gap or any store not carrying plus sizes. I also cleaned out my closet again and donated a bunch of clothes. I had a pair of Old Navy skinny jeans that I could slide right off without even unbuttoning them. Those went in the donate pile along with a jacket and some dresses. The dresses were hard to say good bye to because I loved them so much and they were some of my favorites, but they really were too big and it was time to let them go.
