It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you'd better be running." Author Unknown

Still Strutting!

I truly miss writing my blog every morning. I have had to adjust my mornings...walking past the computer and onto the treadmill. I must say it has helped in the weight loss front, but I sure do miss you guys. I would love to say that I will be back soon, but alas, we are off to Disneyland next weekend. The entire trip is paid for, so we are thankful for that... but we will be just as poor when we get back as we are now.

My current weight is holding at 188.5 .... I cant complain. I now fit into my old size 12's!! I am skinnier now then I was when I first met my husband.... needless to say, he is loving it. I cleaned out my closet today and tried on clothes that hung in the back, dusty and wrinkled. They fit better then the day I bought them. I have lost a lot more on my arms and shoulders, so tank tops are really looking nice. My old 'bar' jeans are snug, but they zip up and make my butt look 10 years younger... Packing for Disneyland will be a lot of fun~

I am sorry that I have not had the chance to read all your blogs and keep up with your lives... I do pray that you are all doing well and keeping strong. Perseverance is key!

Hugs to you all and I will post pictures of my beautiful body next to a big hunky Mickey Mouse next weekend!!!

188.5 lbs!!!

Yes! I have hit my all time low in four years. It has taken me months to break the 190 mark, but I finally did it. I can attribute this to two things...

1- I have been getting a B12 shot once a week from my doctor and it is giving me more energy to do things and less time to eat

2- I have had the flu the past three days and have not felt like eating anything. In fact, when I do eat I immediately get nauseous... blech.

So, my weight might pop back up to 190 when I am over this flu... but for now I am feeling positive.

As for getting back online... because it is the beginning of the month, we have no extra money yet again... but we are crossing our fingers for next weekend! I miss reading everyones blog and I hope to get the chance to catch up to you all soon.

Stay positive and keep moving forward...
