I'm Normal!

Well, at least my blood pressure is. Had a BP check with Dr. Wunder this morning and it was 116/80 - Dr. said, "It's in the normal range!" Whoop whoop!

I've lost 93 pounds to date. Don't think I'm going to hit the 100 pound mark by Thanksgiving, but should by Christmas. I have been taking Zumba and Body Pump (weightlifting) classes at the gym. Haven't gone since my Monday body pump class - my quads are so sore! I love my gym - I still really don't like to exercise, but at least I have a cool gym to go and work out at. The Zumba classes are fun and keep me motivated to go. I picture myself as a skinny exotic latin dancer!

Another whoop whoop. I had a girls weekend Nov 7-9 with my friends Kendra, Carrie, and Harmony. We had a blast and did a lot of shopping. I bought a size 14/16 top! I couldn't believe it - I'm wearing it today as a matter of fact. I'm still wearing size 20 pants (although I do have some 18's that fit), but I'm able to wear smaller tops. The lower stomach is my problem area. I was so excited! I'm almost into "normal" sizes! I felt sassy at Mary and Scott's engagement party in my 14/16 sweater, size 18 skirt, and my knee high boots! (I've always wanted tall boots, but have never been able to find any that fit over my calves - I have some now!)

That's my update for now. See you again at 100 pounds!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am very proud of you. It is so hard to take off the weight when it was so easy to put it on. You are on your way to being a healthy person.
