So it's been awhile. . .

But I'm doing well!  I'm down to 156.4 lbs, which is the lowest I've been since college.  140 seems so much more attainable now that I'm halfway in the 150's!  I'm cooking a lot more, taking WW recipes or recipes from magazines and trying them out on weekends.  I actually am making two dinners today: Meatloaf with Barley for tonight (and leftovers) and a slow-cooker Three Bean & Pork Chili for tomorrow's dinner (and leftovers).  I love the slow-cooker, but I can only do recipes on weekends!

I'm also been exercising like a MANIAC, that is majorly helping my confidence, health and self-image.  I exercise 6 or 7 times a week now, which I never would have thought was possible a few years ago.  I take Step Aerobics twice a week, Spinning twice a week, BodyPump two days a week, and Pilates once a week.  I told you I'm exercising like a maniac!  But I can finally see and feel my body actually CHANGING, and I feel stronger and healthier. 

And GREAT NEWS!  I think I'm going to become a Spinning instructor!  I'll keep you posted as I get going on training, etc..

Other than that, life is good.  Living with Nick is still great, and he's SOOOOO supportive of my healthy dinners, letting me make exercise a priority (and thus delaying dinner until 8PM some nights) and not bringing sweets and snacks into the house.  He really is great. 

Anyway, I have a wedding on August 1st ('m a bridesmaid) and I'm determined to be one of the hotter bridesmaids!  I want to look awesome in my friend's wedding pictures, and I've got 4.5 months to get it done!

OK, thought I would check in and tell everyone I was doing well.  Hope the rest of you are doing great too!
