Hello!!
What a wonderful day yesterday was!! Hubby & I went to our gym for our 13 week follow up appointment with a trainer. Guess what the results were?!?! I weigh 220 pounds! I've lost 35 pounds since May 1st. I've also lost 5 inches of my waist. Hubby has lost 15 pounds and 5.5 inches off his waist. How exciting is that?!?! I'll post all of the specific measurements either tonight or tomorrow (I'm at work and I don't have them with me). I'm so PROUD of myself!! It's the most weight I have EVER lost in my life. I'm just happy, happy, happy!!
My sister said it's time for me to "ditch the clown pants" and buy some new clothes. Clown pants? Damn, that's rude! (Even though I know that she doesn't mean it that way). She said its hard to appreciate all the weight I've lost because I'm "drowning in my clothes". Hmmmm...perhaps she has a point. My b-day is Saturday and I've asked for some new clothes. It's weird but I'm almost reluctant to get new clothes. I don't want to jinx anything. I know that sounds stupid, but it's true.
On a more upbeat note. You know what I realized at the grocery store yesterday? I'm actually proud of what's in my cart. I have such a wonderfully healthy selection of food in my cart when I shop: fresh fruits & veggies, turkey, eggs, natural cereals, eggs and more. It's really nice! I keep my head held high and stroll right through the store. It's funny because I know that some folks may be looking at me and judging me because of my weight, however, they don't know that I've lost 35 pounds. It makes me smile a little. It also makes me realize how much we judge and are being judged on a daily basis. I'm working on doing it much less! I KNOW that someones value as a person has NOTHING to do with their weight--regardless of how big or small they are. It's not only what's on the inside that counts, it's what you do with the talents/skills you've got.
I've got to run. Hubby's brother & his family will be here soon. I'm going to be leaving the office to do some last minute things at home.
Hugs from AZ,
Shannon

Thanks Rich & Chari!
I will take you up on that challenge sir! Let's see who DOES get there first. That way the one that still needs to get there can be encouraged by the one that's already there! I love competition, within myself and challenges with other folks. BRING IT ON! LOL
