Barely Obese

215.4

THURSDAY

YEAH. I saw 215 this morning. Woo Hoo. I'm kicking BUTT this week. I go to my weigh in in about an hour and am expecting a good 3 lb loss since last time I went (3 weeks ago). I'm very pleased.

I updated my ticker, though, and am still technically "obese". I'm right at 30 BMI. If I remember correctly under 30 BMI is considered "overweight" but 30 or above is "obese". Boo. I definitely don't feel "obese". If you asked a random stranger if I looked "overweight" or "obese" I think 9 out of 10 would say "overweight". I'm definitely not skinny, but I hate that word - obese. Perhaps it's due to the level of obesity in America that my 40 lbs over weight doesn't "look" as bad. Who knows. I plan to be "overweight" by next week. :-)

On another happy note, I had a GREAT run last night. I ran 2.5 miles without walking, then walked .1 mile, then finished out another .5 miles running. For a total of 3 miles ran. I cooled down, of course, with a bit more walking, but that's definitely the best I've done in a long time. I told Erik earlier this week that I'd be running 3 miles straight by the end of the month. Looks like it might be sooner that I thought! I'm so pleased. It felt good too. It was tough near the end, of course, but it really felt good. (especially when I was done!) :-)

So tonight Holly & I scored tickets to a Sugarland concert here in Atlanta at the Fox - a very cool, very old style theatre. I'm excited. A co-worker couldn't go so we got them half price.

This weekend's plans are unpack, unpack and unpack. Oh and I might make Erik take me to see 21 this weekend. It's a movie based on the MIT blackjack team that worked Vegas for lots of money. We've both read the book the film is based on "Bringing Down the House" and I really want to see it. I'm a gambler at heart, what can I say.

Other than that, my life will consist of working on the house, running, and tracking my world in Sparkpeople. I love you sparkpeople! :-)
