I'm Back in the Ring!


Don't count me out yet- I'm back in the ring. I'm still working; still eating right (after my Easter setback). Proud to report after a couple weeks of up,up up, down, up, down, up, up, down... I have finally fallen off a plateau- 36 lbs down.

With your Dad away, I seem to find that I have tons of time to myself. I can either eat out of boredom or exercise. I chose to exercise. Plus Paula, my maid of honor, is having a Surprise 50th birthday party this Saturday and I want to at least feel good about my weight. Although she has not seen me in over 10 years (sad to say) and I was probably lighter than I am now, I'm at least glad that I'm not 36 lbs heavier.

Thanks for encouraging me to stay with it!!! I sat and cried all night watching Biggest Loser. The son, Mike, was angry at his father, Ron, for letting him get as fat as he did. Ron looked so helpless and said "how could I tell you not to eat bad when I was almost 400 lbs"... that's how I feel with you girls; what I mean is, that's how I FELT before we started our new life this year. Now I'm so proud of both of you and of myself for trying to be a role model; not so much with my sleek physique but eating healthy, exercising, and just encouraging you to stay with it (no more "hippocrit" - right Leah?)

Whit, the race is on to 40 lbs. The winner gets bragging rights on the Blog - HA! how's that for a real incentive.

I'm going to go and do some more Total Gym before bed. Maybe we'll hear from Leah once this semester is over.
