Yeah!!! I had lost the log in so I couldn't post anything but I'm back. I have officially lost 21.2 pounds.....SUCH a slow process but I'm good. I've lost 11 inches on my waist and hips. My clothes show it!! My jeans are sagging and my shirts I wore last winter DO NOT fit. I have to go shopping. I tried last wekend and couldn't find anything I really liked. I want to find Lee Rider jeans.
I had a really good experience yesterday. A man came into school to register his son. He recognized me from year when I was having issues with my chest. He reminded me that he was the one who came with EMS to do my blood pressure. Well, he complimented me on the weight loss, was glad that I'm doing it a slow but safe way and said I looked ten years younger!! WEE HAA!!!!!! How nice was that. So, I keep plodding away at this.
Stacy and I are still walking daily, 2 1/2 miles each, but he's been having some back issues. I hope it's nothing serious.
Laura, I really liked your post. You're quite ingenius. I can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving!! 55 pounds is quite an accomplishment!!! I saw an ad for turkey sausage to make the pigs in a blanket! Thought I might try that and see what it tastes like and what the calorie count is for it. Who knows! Are y'all going to be there for Thanksgiving or just for Christmas?
You know, these are the musings that I think about. I know y'all all are big Jillian fans and I'm a little wary. I sometimes wonder if I don't push myself really hard like on the show, will I ever really lose all the weight? Am I going to get to a place where I really can't lose it all because I don't have access to a gym with all the equipment, etc. I have me and my desire to walk daily. When it rains, i have to opt to stay inside and workout to a video. Not my favorite activity at all. It makes me feel fat and stupid and not good. The walking has been really good for my mind. I can actually see my feet now!!!
Hope you all keep up the fight, don't get lazy and go for it!!
See you later,
Lee
