i went to the center today to weigh it. apparently they are learning that i don't come in as much as i should so stop putting me in the inactive. :o)
anyway... I HIT 60 lbs. that's right folks, i have lost 60 lbs since august!!!! only 27 more lbs to go!!! :o)
i did warn them again that in about 7 or 8 lbs i will probably bawl like a little kid since i don't every remember being under 200 lbs. (yes that means i am at 207 right now). i am doing a dance in my chair and thought seriously about doing a cart-wheel when i left the center. i didn't but i thought about it!
hope you all are doing well on your healthier lifestyle! remember, if i can do it so can you!

long time no post
well i figured it was time for an update.
i went to the center on tuesday (yes i know that was a while ago) and found out that i was down to 57 lbs. while I haven't been back i am down probably about 59 lbs... well at least that is what my scale says. i can't say that this will stay that way since the rest of this week was spent doing all sorts of off plan things. Pizza on thursday, beer, sushi, and bar food on friday, thai food today, and i am going for drinks this evening for a friends birthday. Tomorrow will not be any different since i have a meeting over dinner at the deli. Oh well, it was a busy week so i don't feel that bad about it.
my highlight happened on wednesday day when i decided i needed to buy some new shirts. i am down to about 4 shirts that i can wear that don't look like a sack. i had about 5 but on wednesday my mom told me one of them looked like a sack so it has been retired. :o) anyway, when i went shopping i started out getting slightly down because nothing was fitting right or looking good. then i went to ny & co. i haven't shopped at this store since my freshman year of college. i took in LOTS of clothes. the first batch of shirts looked horrid, i felt like i was wearing a pup-tent. the second set was a bit too tight. i ended up walking out with 3 shirts that look pretty good!
the best part though was with the pants. knowing that i wear a size 14 in jeans now i figured the dress pants would be a 16 since they are usually a big snug. i brought in several 16 talls. when i walked out in a pair one of the ladies that works there said those are too long and WAY too big. what size did you take in? i told her a 16 and she said "what the hell did you do that for?" while i was telling her that i wasn't sure what my real size was another worker came up and commented on the pants being too big. the first girl told her they were 16's and the new friend said "what??? umm no, what do you need a 10?" i could have smooched her! i ended up walking out with a 14 average. they fit perfectly now but will most likely be too baggy in a few weeks which is ok because they were on sale!
that is about the extent of my diet excitement. in other news... after a month, i FINALLY got my car back yesterday. perhaps after this evening i will have some more photos to post of me. we will see! :o)
hope you are all doing well!
