Sometimes if you do the first interval or two slower than normal pace, and then a couple at normal pace, you can do the later ones at a higher pace ....

#1 Coming off my insulin pump within a week after surgery. Then coming off insulin altogether.

#2. Losing 23 inches in the first month.

Don't have a number three yet but only a month out.

Tracey, I was kinda floored when we did them. Esp since I haven't been exercising much this much.

i pay close attention to what you, Ruthie, Amy, Abby, and the LW's just ahead of me post.  I figure you're my role models.  You set that bar WAY high.

tracey,
I terms of long term mindset, you should think about get the audio version of this book ... he makes points that I don't think I've heard altogether in one place and really makes you look at how the goal is for you to stay in control ... "Structure gives control"  ... I think it would especially appeal to you and your desire to be organized/prepared.

Thanks Amy.  I was able to download it for free for 15 days from our library onto my iPod.
I've listened to the first section already.  Great book, thanks for the suggestion.

1. Starting to run for short periods of time on the treadmill. I have never, ever done this in my entire life.

2. Being able to do pushups. When I started with the trainer, back in December, I couldn't do one push-up or sit-up. For the past two weeks, I have been able to do 3 sets of 10, interspersed with ab work. I am so much stronger and healthier, stronger, and more energetic than I was 3 months ago.

3. My clothes keep getting larger and I have to buy smaller sizes, including shoes.

4. The many compliments that I receive from co-workers and other people, regarding how healthy I look. I feel it.

5. My PCP said that I looked "perfect" but he still wanted me down a bit more. Maybe, to allow for bounce back?
