Okay, I have decided that it is more fun to post and read posts than to keep up with this blog.  I just had my one year appointment and it went sooo well.  All my labs came back good exept for my liver enzymes were a little high. I have to get them re-checked in three months. He said not to worry right now about that.  Everything else is good.  I have never felt better in my life.  While I am not quite at the goal I set for myself, I am pleased with my progress.  I will make my goal if my body is willing to let go of this last little bit.  It is nice that the office didn't have a set goal for me other than to get healthy.  That is their focus, not the weight.  They are very pleased with my progress.  Now I just work on not gaining any of it back! 

Ok,  I was nervous to get on the scale this morning. I don't know why, I guess I figured that I would be stalling again.  Maybe it was because I have been stressed, working long hours and dealing with things at school.  But..... I am down to 171. OMG  I can't believe how close I am to 100 pounds gone forever!!!  I am so excited about that. I did my little happy dance this morning!!!!  DH thinks I have too many endorphines going these days.  He just doesn't understand.  He has never had to deal with this.  I hope that my boys have learned from me and will always watch their weight.  So far so good with that.  Anyway,  what a way to start the week.  I know it isn't much. I only went from 174 to 171, but that is a big deal to me right now.  Weight loss is definitely slower these days.  The snow isn't helping either!!!!  I want to see the ground again!!!!!
