Baby, is this love for real?

        Today I am proud to say that I accomplished two milestones in my healthy lifestyle transition:
1. I have officially lost over 10% of my initial body weight
                               and
2. I ran nearly 4 miles without stopping. 3.92 to be precise

         My best friend asked me the other day to blog my running playlist for new ideas. I have a strange method to my playlist but I will list all of the songs currently included. Since I use the Runkeeper app I normally set it to shuffle and let the app do its thing. However, here are the songs in alphabetical order:

     As my playlist changes I'll continue to post different songs. I've noticed so many positive things in the last 2 1/2 months. I just love my life right now. More than I could have imagined a year or so ago. If you were to tell me 10 weeks ago that I would be running almost 4 miles I would've laughed. It gives me pride to know that I'm doing something that a lot of others can't or won't do.

    I've got to get some sleep but I'm looking forward to Wednesday when I WILL run 4 miles.
