160 down!

Mar 12, 2014

Today I weighed in at 202 on the dot!! That means I am officially down 160 pounds from my highest weight of 362.... and only 2 pounds away from the 100s! (For some reason, I have an aversion to calling it "Onederland". I don't know why, I just don't like the way it sounds. Like it's this magical place that will totally change me when I lose two more pounds.  I don't care if other people say it but for some reason, i don't care for it.) Anyway, I'm excited.  It's been over 12 years since I was this size and honestly, I never hoped to be here again.  My biggest concern is being able to maintain this, like I've talked about before in my blogs. I have 21 more pounds until I reach my goal of losing half my starting body weight.  But will I really be done then?  Or will that be too low to maintain?  I know I want to maintain in the 100s because I don't want to be "obese" by the BMI standards.  I'm cool with being overweight. LOL I'll wear that moniker proud!

Other than that, things are ok. My stepkids are stressing me out and my husband is traveling a lot but such is life.  I am transferring to a new manager and new team next month at work and that has me a little stressed. I want to visit my team in Augusta one last time before I leave the team so I think I'll be going the beginning of next month.  It will be nice to see all of my teammates again.  The last time they all saw me in person was September of last year, I think. Big changes since then!! It's always a nice ego boost to see everyone and have them comment on how much I've changed.  Just gotta keep on it! :-)
