Happy ending!

Today, was a GREAT day!

I went in for my nurse visit this morning. Sitting there in the waiting room all kinds of nervous, I decided to play Temple Run. It's an over the top incredibly addicting game, where you run away from these vulture/gorilla hybrid nasty things chasing you. If I play too long, I really feel like I'd have an epileptic seizure from the screen moving so fast but I just can't help myself!

Cody was back in the office today, and I was excited to see her. I hopped on my scales today, and discovered that AGAIN all this time they've been wrong! I had estimated I only lost about two pounds since last visit. Keep in mind, my last appointment was almost two weeks ago. Hopping on the scale today, I was super afraid to see a number that I maybe didn't want to see. To my total and utter surprise, I lost six pounds! Holy crap!!!! I can't even express how excited and happy I was! It definitely started my day off right! We looked through my paperwork and totaled everything up. As of today, I have officially lost 27 pounds!

27 POUNDS I'VE MELTED AWAY!

Can you believe that?! All this time has gone by, and I've literally felt like I was at a stand still. I can't even tell you how anxious and excited I am to hit my next ten pound goal! As of today, I am down to 182lbs. I haven't been at this weight since probably my senior year of high school. Keep plugging along with things, you'll get there!

I was looking at myself today while I was staring out the window. The reflection of myself was smaller, but still frumpy. Ashly is going to burn some work out DVD's for me, which I'm super excited about. Like I said, I've increased my walking and stair climbing but haven't been to the gym in a while. I just feel like I need to shed some more weight, before I hit the gym hard and start to tone. Call me crazy, but I have a plan about this. My BMI states my weight should be like 125-145. I was in my sophmore year of high school the last time I weighed 145lbs. Seems like a long time ago! Even though I was definitely small, I look back now and can't help but think I was too small. Everyone carries their weight differently. My goal from the start was to get to 145lbs, roughly about 65-70lbs I need to lose. I'm half way to my goal, and I'm feeling better than ever.

This day could not have came any sooner. It gave me the boost of confidence I needed, and something else to focus on. My weight and health are absolutely under my control, and I'm regaining my strength to a happier and healthier life! I'm meeting up with Rhonda for lunch tomorrow, and I can imagine we'll be doing a lot of squealing seeing each other. This is the first time I will have seen her this small, and vice versa! It'll be great! We're doing lunch at one of our favorite spots, and then hunting down a friend of ours to harass him with a visit! Can't wait to be off this week, finally!
