Ahhh how I wish I were talking about that fun party dance.

After a fabulous start this year, lately, I’ve just been…..hovering.  I got sick (right before my birthday too, :bawling:), and no sooner was I recovering from that, when Big Red attacked.  I went back to the gym and decided that germs weigh a lot.  :rant:  Then car problems that kept me from the gym.  And my headaches are back too, which has been exhausting if nothing else.
 

I regained a few pounds, but I’m trying to stay motivated and just roll with the punches.  This week, I can get to the gym 5 days, if the universe will cooperate.  Soon, I will have one more way to help me keep moving—I ordered my very first MP3 player :yahoo:

Last week I was having trouble posting (due to my own computer fighting with WordPress), so I didn’t post that I lost 1.6 pounds to bring my total weight loss to 17.4 pounds.

This week, however, I reached an awesome goal.  I reached my 10% goal and got this at my meeting–

It is my 10% key chain.  I lost 2.4 pounds.  I don’t mind telling you that it brings me to a total of 19.8 pounds lost.  Those of you who are really good at math can now figure out how much I weigh.  Oh well, we’re all friends here, right?  Maybe it will be inspiring to someone.  Plus, we are all going through the same thing.

The best part of all of this, is that I went shopping after my meeting and got 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts.  The pants were both low rise, one a pair of jeans and the other a pair of khakis for work.  My first non-mom jeans!  They were size 12!  I had been wearing a size 14.  I think that I could have even gone a size smaller, but I wasn’t as comfortable.  I can pull the jeans out away from my waist though!  Yay, me!  It won’t be long and I will be wearing an even smaller size!  The shirts were a size smaller, too.  Yippee!  I hope by my birthday in July to at least be at a size 8.  Wouldn’t that be awesome?  I think so!

You all have a good week!
