In January 2007, I weighed 420 lbs . In February 2009, I was down to 255 lbs and within 100 lbs of my goal weight. I couldn't get the scale to budge and gave up. By August 2015, I hit a personal high at 442 lbs. Now I'm on a renewed journey to health.

Great workout!

I had a really nice workout today. My gym was closed last week for "maintenance" so I had to work out on the track. I got back on the treadmill yesterday after a week on the track. The first thing I noticed was how skinny my arms seemed to me. I enjoyed watching them move back and forth.

I also found that running is coming easier and that my heart rate isn't getting up like it used to on the same incline and speed. So I upped it a bit yesterday and upped it more today. I was able to walk at a 2.0 incline at 3.5 mph for quite a little while today. I also added a .10 miles to my 50-minute walk. It felt really good.
