Fifty Three pounds lighter!!

Well, after a few plateaus and some loss of motivation for exercise, I have managed to lose 53 pounds!

The last month or so, I have not been feeling the exercise. I am not sure if its the mind or the body telling me I have no energy. Maybe it's the weather....ya, that must be it. I get a really good feeling after a work out, but it's a matter of getting out there in the morning. If I don't go to the gym by....say...10:30 or so, I wont do it. Even though I know I should.

Anyhow, I did reach a HUGE milestone: fifty pounds!!

Yes, that is a lot of weight. A lot of discipline and a lot of determination on my part. I am very happy about that. I have another milestone coming up, its the weight I was when I started dating Scott, SIX years ago......holy!

I bought myself new workout gear for the ocasion, and Scott bought me new Asics runners to workout in. They are comfy and very supportive. Oh, and my sister bought me a lipstick. MAC lip conditioner. So, my family is very happy for me and I have more energy now than I did last summer, that's for sure.

I could not go out of the house to run errands or anything for longer than 2 hours. All I wanted to do was come home. Period. That was so hard. I was TIRED all the time. Like wiped right out tired. And can you blame me, I did carry around 2 bags of flour all day long.

Fast forward one year, and now I am so much happier, (I have my days) for the most part, and enjoying my life more. We do more things together as a couple and I can stay out for more than 2 hours........
