Hi all:

Just wanted to share with you all that this morning I had my 6 month visit with my Nut.  I actually had it at 5 and a half months but better sooner than later.  She calculated that I have already lost 82.4% of my excess body weight - a fact that simply blows my mind.  She suggested cutting back my protein - I am averaging 120-140 grams per day and increasing good carbs. - currently at between 70-80 grams a day.  The goal is to get to 100 grams in the next three months and 130 in the next 6 months.  All in all she couldn't have been happier, which makes me happy!

To make this weekend even more exciting, tomorrow I run my first 5-K.  The Komen National Race for the Cure.  I could have never imagined being able to accomplish such a feat, even 6 months ago.  I will most defintely not be the fastest runner there, but I can assure you, there won't be to many happier than me when I cross that finish line.

I have been blessed over the last six months - I have to say that I am loving this journey I am on and am grateful for all of the support of those of you traveling similiar paths.
