Week 9

Start weight:  242

Current weight: 202 (-40lbs)

YES!  Although not quite at my first real big goal (-200lb), it’s still pretty damn cool.

I’ve had to dig through my closet again to find jeans that fit.  The jeans I was wearing at the start are just too big to even wear now (thank god).  Right now I wear a pair of jeans that my big ole butt couldn’t squeeze into post-David as casual floppy wear around the house.  Even had to roll up the pant legs, which is kinda cute and I might do with my other jeans.  Jean capris!  I’m down to fitting into skinny 18’s or regular 16’s with ease now.  That elusive size 14 is something I haven’t worn since…2003?  No, 2002, before I started working for Comcast back in the day.  Catherine had just turned 3 years old and she’s 11 now O_O.  If I can ever get into a 14, lord help me, I will completely lose my crap.

Still working out weekly:  added the elliptical machine (god who created that torture device) and I’m up to 8 mins.  Hey, that’s a lot for me.  Walking at least 3-5 miles weekly.  It’s getting nice here and I’m going to need to get one of those weird trailer thingies for David during the summer or I might not have time to exercise since I go when he’s in preschool.

I’m happy.  Friggin deliriously happy.  I feel great, sore, but great and my husband has finally noticed a difference in my body.  He’s had only skype to see me on and the quality isn’t that great, but I recently posted a picture of me and even he could see the difference.  So happy.  Ultimately my goal is to take another 60lbs off, but I figure I’m almost halfway there.  Anything else is icing.
