October has been a successful month. I set out to lose 5 lbs and I did it. That makes a total of 70lbs. Wow! I also ran a 5k with the goal to complete it with out stopping. I did it and broke my record by 4 minutes. It felt great!

November starts the Holiday season along with my birthday and anniversary. It can be very temping but I have faith that I can lose 5 lbs by the end of the month and complete another 5k on Thanksgiving day. You see I have these dark brown pants that I bought one size too small. My goal is not only to put them on but to be comfortable in them as well. No muffin top in these pants. I want to be able to breath easy.

I've also committed to do a half marathon in May 2010. I'm going to start training with my friend in December and enter a couple of 10k's between now and then. This is a big goal that's going to take lots of focus and discipline. I also want to go on a cruise with my family so I want to have reached by final weight loss goal by then. With 40lbs to go, we will see what happens. Mean while I'll keep my focus on my November goal.
