Like a Rockstar (Jennifer)

I started this blog already a few pounds down in my journey. My highest recorded weight was 233 although I am pretty sure it was much higher! I am currently in the mid 160's. I did Medifast to get a large chunk of my weight off and since have come off the plan and begun exercising. I have discovered that I like to run! Who knew?!?! I hope you enjoy reading and please feel free to comment! Today was a good day.  I feel like a rockstar.  I went to the gym this morning.  It felt good.  And when I looked in the mirror I saw my progress.  This isnt an everyday thing...although I wish it were!!!  I saw that my arms are starting to take shape.  And when I walked in front of the mirror on the way to one of the machines I noticed the FUPA is getting smaller.  Yaay!  I went in the sauna when I was all done and relaxed and talked to my new friend I met at the gym.  Tomorrow morning it is Zumba.  I cant wait!  I went to my zumba class last night too.  It was good but not as good as usual.   After the gym today I picked up my friend Erin and we brought the girls to the zoo.  It was a good time. Anyway...then the most amazing part of my rockstar day...  Tonight after dinner I realized I had energy and wanted to exercise.  I had this motivation I cant explain.  So when the girls went to bed I went and changed into some workout clothes and got on the treadmill.  I am sooooooooooo excited that tonight I have achieved my latest goal and jogged 2 miles...and on 5mph.  For me, this is great!  I used to have to jog at 4mph and could only do a minute or two on 5mph. But I did the whole thing at 5mph.  And the best part...I was comfortable doing it.  There was no uncomfortable out of breathe feeling and no feeling like I needed to stop and rest.  Is this what conditioning is all about?  Is that what in shape feels like?  It cant be because I still have so far to go and afterall I am still at the high end of the overweight category on the BMI chart.  Almost obese actually.  But even that is an accomplishment for me.  I have been in the obese category for over a decade so bumping down into "overweight" is progess.  I realize now that I really have come so far in this journey.
