Mission Accomplished
My sugar-free diet has finally paid off--I just bought a pair of Size 6 jeans! To reward myself, I splurged on a pair of David Kahn's. Last December I was wearing size 10, and now my "fat pants" are in the closet. I was going to give them away, but experience tells me that as I age, my metabolism will undergo yet another slowdown, so I might as well be ready. But I hope that doesn't happen.
SD and I (and my David Kahn's) are off to an Italian vacation. We're visiting Rome, Florence, Milan, and the Black Knight! BK and I are planning to go for a run and although he runs twice as fast as me, he promised me it would be a "touristic pace". I'm looking forward to meeting Stephano, but I'll probably find out that I've been mispronouncing his name this past year. :-)
I probably won't post for the next two weeks, but if I get a chance, I'll do some drive-by reading of your blogs.
Ciao, baby!

wow!! i wish i could claim the same. alas, i cannot.
say hello to STEfano for me!
Yea, YOU!! Congratulations and keep up the healthy eating... and running. Aging doesn't have to mean slow. Wishing you an energy trip.
10 to 6! I don't know women's sizes but I'm not surprised. When I took up running I went from 38 to 33. Seven years later, still there. Ef'en you keep running you can take those tens out of the closet and give 'em to Goodwill. Enjoy Italy. I love the Black Knight's tales of rapine and conquest.
Wow! Congrats on a super weight loss. Have fun in Italy!
Congrads, Dori. Have fun in Italia!
Congratulations on your size 6's! I hope you're able to let go of your "big pants" soon. There's something to be said about not wanting to go back there. :)
No wonder your so much faster - your so much lighter!
WTG!
PS
Enjoy your trip!!!!!
Just browsing thru and wanted to say - Awesome Work! Keep it up~.
The last time I heard the words "mission accomplished" I was deeply embarrassed for everyone concerned.
But not this time!
Wow, size 6! You are my hero!
Congrats on the size 6! That is awesome.
I hope you are having a great time in Italy!

Wow! Size 6?!?!?!
I love San Fran! Are you doing the Womens? There are so many good races that time of the year.
I follow the Galloway with a 5:1 ratio. I do it anytime I do 6 miles or up. It has worked wonders for me since I started doing distance. I have stayed injury free and my times are actually way faster when I do walk breaks then without. I doubt I could manage doing a full without them. Well, maybe one day.
Good luck with your training!
Enjoy Italy! Watch out for those high calorie pastas! Congratulations on making the number 6. It's a lot harder for women to drop that weight.
Nice job!
Congratulations on your slim down. Now throw out those size 10 jeans. No need to "plan" your weight gain.
Thanks for your comments on my blog, and from Italy! Looking forward to hearing about your trip!
WOW, you're teeny-tiny now. I admire you're tenacity with cutting out the sugar. I wish I could follow your lead!
Have a super fun time in Italy. I want to see pics!
Wow that sounds like a fun trip! And for some reason your blog 'fell' off my bloglines but it's back now :)
Sounds like you had a great time. Hope to see you and run together soon!
