I did okay. Average. But that's who I am. And that's okay too.
On average I lost about 3 inches from each thing they measured, except the girls. They were closer to 5. My weight on their scale was 219. I started at 239. But I weighed in about 5-6 pounds heavier on their scale. Fifteen more pounds and I can finally pass Sharon. Do I look any different. No. Do my clothes fit any different. Not really. Do I feel any different. No. Oh well. As Lydia would say "It's all good".
Textbook perfect blood pressure—120/80. That's two great reading in a row. Hope it stays that way for the doctors visit! Maybe that beast has been tamed? Now what can I do to help the cluster headaches?
The treadmill test. The first time I was at 17:33 for a mile. This time I burned rubber at 14:22. Now several of you use treadmills all the time so this is small potatoes for you. But for me, it was the best part of the day. Please don't comment that you can do a mile in 10 minutes. Please. It will burst my very small bubble.
Next challenges:
- February-March the Iditawalk
- March Arena climb. Fundraising minimum too steep for the 54 floor stair climb now.
- April, the 10k. 6 miles fast. Hope I'm ready.
Then the big decision. Registration is $45 for the 50K. Do I do it or not? Have to decide by February 1

Lets see, you lost inches? That is good. Maybe there sre clothes that do fit different, sounds like they have too unless everything was already too big. are some new things in order? #2, you did lose weight, keep it up and you will have to see a difference. #3, the BP is super. that has to be worth the price of admission alone! #4, you cut close to 20% off your treadmill time, how can that be bad?
As for being average and not getting in the book, I would think it would be bad to only include the major successes in the book. They need to let people know that this may not work for everyone but even small victories should count.
I am happy with the weight loss an I plan to keep it up, especially if I do the 50K. It will help. My goal is 199. Then we'll make a new goal.
No my clothes don't fit. Haven't really bought anything new since I did the first 3-Day. So they are already big, so I wouldn't noice if they got bigger. I hate clothes shopping.
The BP is super. And it was good two weeks ago at EHMC. Maybe I finally have a handle on this beast.
I don't really care if I'm in the book or not. I'll find out the 26th. I'm just guessing that they'll pick the "superstars".
The treadmill was funny. I did the two minute warmup then set it for 4.5 minutes. Nearly did a flip off the back it was going so fast. Good thing I was holding on, because I'm not used to it. Then I set it to 3, and every minute or two , kicked it up a notch. I ended at 4.6
