The big 8-ohhhhhh!

Well, I had set a mini goal for myself to be under 200 lb by my next Dr's appointment.  I did that and more.  I weighed 195!  That's 81 pounds of flab outa here forever.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling human.  I've been riding my bike, playing on the floor with my grandson, doing all kinds of things that I would have never thought of doing at 276. 

My husband and I went on a short trip to Jekyll Island last week.  We had such a good time.  Not like past trips where I wore out so fast that I wanted to nap every afternoon and go to bed at 8:00. Nooooo, we took long walks on the beach having great conversations.  We went everywhere.  We shopped.....oh man....did I have to show restraint because everything is starting to fit!  I mean.....regular clothing stores have actual things that fit moi!!!!

There seem to be daily reminders that I'm getting smaller, too.  It's such motivation to keep on going and see to just how far I can go with this.  My plan is to go to the lower end of my healthy weight.  My original goal was 135, but I've been thinking that 125 would be better because healthy weight for my height is 120-140.  We'll see when the time comes how I feel.  Until then, I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing, because it works!
