18 months & 1 year at goal (Cross-post from Main Board)
So, it's the end of December, and I realize that it's been 18 months since that fateful day that I entered the hospital. It's also been one year since I hit my goal weight of 135. I've been below that goal weight ever since.
I hover between 125 and 132, looking and feeling best where I am right now at about 128. 125 is just too thin, though the 'ideal weight' for my height of 5'2.5" is 122. I'm muscular and large shouldered (though without hips) so at the lower weight I start to look a little scary.
I started back at work this week after being an at-home mom for 7 years - YIKES! - as a computer programmer. I'm still working out how I'm going to keep up with my exercising. At least work is close enough to home that in the warmer months I can bike the 6 miles to work. These long New England winters pose more of a challenge.
Well, that's where I am right now, just chugging along, trying to live life as a normal thin person. What a year and a half it has been!
