Made it to my first goal!!!

My first goal was my weight January 1, 2012 - 177.    I made the goal this morning!  Woo Hoo!

I have officially lost 21 1/2 pounds on Take Shape For Life, which is 12 % of my body weight.  And I've lost 7 1/4 inches! 

Got a call from the doctor this week with my test results, and it turns out my thyroid levels were TOO HIGH!  Here is a link to what kind of side effects you can have from too much thyroid medication
Checklist: Symptoms of Overmedication

So I skipped one day of thyroid medication and started the new lower dose on Wednesday or Thursday.  I don't remember.  I'm doing MUCH better, although I've only worked out 2 times since lowering my thyroid medication.  I will have it checked again in a couple of months!

Today I also officially started my Couch to 5K training.  My first 5K of this year will be the Run, Walk, Ride for Habitat for Humanity.  Last year I walked it and pulled my hamstring because I did not train for it.  I have 12 weeks to train.      It is June 29th, this year.  I started off with running 1/2 a mile on the treadmill.  Here is a link to it if you want more info:  Run, Walk, Ride - Habitat for Humanity.

So my next goal is the weight I got to when I lost the 75 pounds - 158.  I have 19 pounds to go to reach this weight!  Let's see if I can make my goal by the 5K!  That would be roughly 1 1/2 pounds per week! 

I will try and post some before and after pictures soon!
