Goodness, where do I start?!
I ran 7 miles today.
And I didn't walk even though I REALLY wanted to! lol It took me 1 hour, 13 minutes and 30 seconds (about a 10:25/mile pace). It felt really good and I felt super strong! Yaaay! That is the second longest distance I have ever run in my LIFE (the other was a 9 mile run down the beach when I was in Jr. Lifeguards but we also had to swim around every pier and jetty in our way- 7 jettys, 2 piers! ahhh!) So obviously it can't compare to what I did when I was 15 years old, but I am proud of myself for getting up at 6:00 am this morning to run like a madwoman! lol
Secondly, I had my weigh in. And...(drumroll)... I lost 3.5 pounds this week!! YAAAY!! So here are my stats for that:
Starting weight= 211.2 lbs
Current weight= 150.5 lbs
goal weight= 140.0 lbs
pounds lost= 60.7
pounds left to go= 10.5
(I'm getting soooo close!!!)
percentage of the way there= 85%
I had a boba today, but I worked it INTO my calories as opposed to wanting to just randomly scarf it down like last night! 
lol

OMFG... 7 miles??!?!?! GO YOU! And I was complaining about walking 2 miles with some uphill.. I'm going to have to read your journals before working out.. lol. Great job!!!

I cannot believe you only have 10.5 pounds to go! That is awesome. You do not know how proud I am of you. What is that about 1 more month? Wow!!!!! I am going to celebrate for you! Lol! You must feel awesome to know that all your work paid off! Congratulations Lisa!

Holy Crap!!!! I'm so happy for you! See the extra few calories you incorporated aren't landing on your butt. Only 10 pounds to lose like every "normal" woman out there. I'm so lucky to be seeing your transformation. I think they'd have to put you in a straightjacket to stop you now!
AND I KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE A SUCCESSFUL RUN!

Lisa you are absolutely amazing. The past three weeks you've been able to lose about 3lbs each week, your hard work is really showing. You'll reach goal in no time! I'm so excited for you, I seriously might cry when you get to 140. Thanks for the encouragement and your drive...you are my inspiration :).I hope you have a wonderful day!
