Joined a gym

I've always wanted to join a gym, and I know I should have months ago, but I finally got around to it yesterday morning. I went and joined before I went to work, and then I went yesterday after dinner, and again this morning before work! One of the girls I work with has been going and she goes in the morning, so I'm really excited to have a buddy to go run on the treadmill with! I did 45 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, did a mile this morning, and then did a few of the weight machines. I couldn't find the one for your abs last night, but I found it this morning. I'm gonna be using that one super a lot! That's the part I don't like the most right now. And I'm hoping that I can get my arms into shape and get rid of the bat flaps I have going on. I don't reckon they're too bad, but they're bad enough to bother me, so it's time to get that all taken care of.

In the way of an update: I've lost 111 pounds now! I have 39 to go to reach my goal! YAY!

Take care, love you guys, you're the bestest! Sarah

40 pounds to go

I only have 40 pounds to go before I hit my goal of 150 pounds to lose, or to weigh about 145! That's completely insane! I can remember when I figured I needed to lose 40 pounds to be healthy. I doesn't seem like that long ago! I can't believe I've lost 110 pounds in the past 6 1/2 months! It's like a dream, a dream come true. Thank you Dr. Nelson and OWLO! You gave me back my life!

Hitting Goals Now!

I never really had so much of a weight goal as I did a size goal. I mean, when I was in highschool, I weighed 180 pounds but I was solid, and I was muscle, and I was a size 14. I set my size goal between a size 8 and a size 12. I bought some cute little capri's at WalMart the other day. Did I mention that I'm in a size 14 now? I got them home, and tried them on, and of course, they fit. BUT.....oh yes, there's a but, and the good kind too! I have to wear a belt, cause they're too big around the waist, kinda. So the next time I was at WalMart, I found the same ones in a 12, and tride them on, and OMG they fit! I'm IN my size goal range! That's crazy! Anyway, it's really exciting! I'm hoping to be down to at least a 10, if not an 8, the next time I see Paul! He's getting R&R, we found out! I can't wait to see him again! They're trying to push his dates a bit, so he can come home before the kids start school again next fall. I'm reaching goals now, 6 mo. post op! This is insane! Awesome, but insane!
