Wow! It's been six months! I can hardly believe it! Sometimes it feels like it's been an eternity while at other times it feels like I just had my bypass yesterday. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I'm down another 10 pounds since last month (a total of 120 pounds), but the bad news is that the weight is coming off slower and slower, and my resolve at times is pathetic at best. I'm feeling so great that sometimes I get in the mind set that I'm happy where I'm at, and I don't need to loose anymore weight. I know I'll regret that decision in the long run though, so I'm still plugging along. Ideally I have 50 pounds left to loose, and I have 6 months left to do it. Possible? Absolutely! - if I can just get it in my head that I'm worth the sacrifice it's going to take to get there. The fact that I hardly ever get sick anymore makes it harder to resist eating more than I know I need. I really do enjoy working out when I have the time, and I'm starting to see some muscle definition in my arms and legs that I am loving! I've worked so hard for this... I CAN'T QUIT NOW!!!
Now it's time for some stats. That will make me feel better! :)

Despite all the bumps along the road, I truly am so happy with my progress. I love the way I feel and look in clothes, I love the way my husband looks at me now, and I love the way I can play with my little girl without getting breathless and winded. I am looking forward to what another 50 pounds gone will look like on my body, and I'm still hopeful that my skin will snap back into place. I guess only time will tell... Later!
