The Journey...

I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.

Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.

So mount up, Posse, and let's go from Fat to Fit!!

Day 49--Success by Numbers!

Dude, I don't think I'll ever like waking up at 4am. To top it off, it rained the last two miles of my route this morning. But I have to say that I feel great. Awesome starting the day off with endorphins and sweat--it was actually kind of humorous. After that bit of serendipity, I made my way to work and spend an hour and half in traffic--b/c people apparently don't know how to drive in the rain. Which of course made me late for work, but I walked in with a smile on my face :)

I had a wellness check today and my numbers are good. Of course they gave me the standard "talk" about my weight, BMI, and Body Fat %. I am happy with the numbers because they are waaaay better than they were last year.

Weight: (not as much as I would like but I've been doing some weight training; clothes fit fabulously)
Body Fat Percent: 41.3%
BMI: 38.8
Blood Pressure: 130/78
Total Cholesterol: 187
HDL Cholesterol: 48
TC/HDL Ratio: 3.9
Glucose: 90 mg/dL (HA HA! To the docs who told me I would "likely" have diabetes)

Onward soldier!!!
