I FINALLY HIT THE BIG 3-OH!!!!!!
YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm finally back on the down slide and moving past this stupid plateau!!!!!!! I'd like to thank my supporting cast of stars: Jenny Craig, Alli, Hydroxycut Max for Women, my trainer and my hubby! 
Jenny Craig gave me the structure I needed to hit the reset button this week. Hydroxycut gave me energy (actually worked better at controlling my appetite and giving me energy than phentermine did, believe it or not!). Alli...well, I don't know if it helps to lose weight, but it makes you so afraid of "treatment effects," that you don't dare cheat. 
Of course, my hubby is always my strength, encouragement and support. The trainer is the reason I go to the gym instead of taking a nap. LOL SOOOOOOO....I FINALLY hit the 30# mark! Whoot! All of that in spite of the fact that I had a nasty run of sinusitis this past week, keeping me out of the pool and gym for a week, so I didn't even get to start working out again until Friday. I'm hitting the pool again on Monday, when my instructor is back from vacation. Now I still have 80#s to go until I hit 145#s, but it's better than 110#s!

My back has been trying to kill me again. This is another effort at avoiding surgery and praying to God that I can get it calmed down enough that I can continue strengthening my core and never have to think about surgery again. 
Okay, that's my report! I'm healthy again, getting ready for steroid injections to fix my back, I'm back in the gym, and I'm down 30#s and over the plateau! Whoot!
Have a great and healthy week!
