I have had to totally replace my wardrobe at least 3 times so far and I still have 45 pounds to go.  I think I am going to need one more wardrobe change before I am at my goal.

It is so much easier to find and buy clothes that fit…right off the rack.  And when I get them on they actually look like they were made for me.  I get lots of comments these days about my looks…just need to be careful that it does not go to my head.

I went for my physical a few weeks ago and my doctor was amazed at how I had progressed.  She took me off of my diabetes medication and was going to look at my next blood results to consider taking me off of my cholesterol medication too.  It is very surreal to be getting so much healthier so quickly.

I did have a few struggles over the Christmas holidays.  I think I may have put on 3 to 4 pounds with eating the wrong stuff and slowing down on my exercising…but I am now back on track and I think that I have already taken 2 pounds off and the other 2 will come off with very little effort now that I am back on track.  Actually I felt kinda crappy when I was not eating very well and not doing my exercises at the gym every day…my body for sure was telling me that I was being naughty.  Well it I let things go for two weeks out of the year every year and it helps me to stay on track, then so be it.

Overall life is good and getting better.  I was looking at some before and after pictures with my sons tonight…they are so proud of me.  They can’t believe the difference from then to now.  They both said that I looked sore and uncomfortable in my before picture.  Now that I look back at things I think I was sore all of the time…just got used to it.

Anyhow…I don’t know if anyone every reads my blog or not…but it feels good to put it out there.  If you are reading this I hope that I have helped and encouraged you to make a modification in your life.

Cheers.
