14 months & counting

Jun 05, 2010

Happy Fourteenth month of banded life for me! As of this week, I have lost 120lbs! Ahhhhh, life is good! For not being able to lose any weight for so very long, it was nice to see movement on the scale. I'm exercising like crazy still. Loving Zumba & Kickboxing and so does my waistline!

Last night some members of my family & myself took part in the Relay for Life! As my 12 yr old neice & I walked the survivor lap I realized how much easier it was to do this as a healthy person. I'm so extremely proud of my sister who has vowed to stay on the track all night until the closing ceremonies at 5am! Even my 3 yr old neice walked 4 miles around the track! And best of all, my 8 yr old neice Liz decided to raise money and vowed that if she raised $75 she would shave her head! She walked around the track collecting money and got to $79 soon to be raised to an even $100. Once we got to the staging area to shave her head, we quickly raised another $75 for a grand total of $175 for the relay but most importantly in support of her sister who has been fighted Hodgkins Disease since January! So now Liz looks just like her sister with her shaved head. Together their hair will grow back in! Tonight I realized that really nothing else mattered! I'm alive, I'm healthy , I'm happy and I am loved!

Every month it gets better! Oh yeah, I'm down another size! That makes 7 sizes! Wohoo! Life is grand!
