16 Months and still loving my tool

Jul 26, 2011

I am officially down 150 lbs from my beginning weigh in!  I can hardly believe it myself!  Depending on the brand, I wear sizes 6 - 8 - 9 - 10 and small/medium shirts!  Food goes well for me, I have never really had a problem with that.  I focus on my protein first, and average about 100 grams a day!  I have been getting my water in, for the most part, I just forget to drink as much when sitting at my work station during the day.  I make up for it when I go home!!

My 2nd daughter graduated high school in June - and will be leaving me for college next month.  I am handling it better than I thought, I just keep telling myself - this too is short lived, they will come back home!  I love my daughters so very much, I have one left at home - 2 years and she too will be done with high school.  Although she pushes me every chance she gets, they are truly unique individuals and one should NEVER compare your children.

Dave and I have been doing wonderful!  Although I find myself crabby at times, simply because I find my tolerance levels are so different these days.  Things that I would have just accepted and ATE away, I now vocalize and let him know!  HAHA  I think he actually likes me better this way, we are so much stronger in our relationship.  He continues to be my biggest supporter and tells me how very proud he is for the changes I have made.  He reminds me when I try to drink too soon after eating and enjoys the time we spend together!  We have been engaged for a year now, no definite date set, waiting for girls to finish school.

Loving life and so very happy I finally took this step!  I say embrace each and every day and make it a good one - and if you stumble - pick yourself right back up and get back on track! 

10 more pounds to go - then I can start shopping for BOOBIES!!!  I can live with the other areas of sagging skin, I lucked out, I don't have a TON of it!!!  BUT, I must have BOOBIES to help ME feel feminine and sexy.  But, that is just ME!!!!

Thanks for reading and I will try to post more often!
