I spent 10 weeks a Fort Jackson runnning marching , running and sweting. I did it . I have joined the Army reserve and completed basci training. The pyscholgist told me to " blue  sky" this experience. Made it with the help of God to 158 pounds

Just looking at Holiday food has made me slow down. I joined a group at the gym. Today we did physicall assements . I ddi like 19 pushups in one minute about 27 situps i a minuet and I ran a whole mile in 12 minutes. I was not liking the treadmill but I need to kick myself into fifth gear and lose the rest of this weight .
                 

I was 250 and now that I am 179 I look in the mirror and sometimes wonder who that person is.  Guys now make eye contact with me. I can not imagine getting any smaller everyday I have something iI try on that is too big imagine that. My new obession now that I do not eat food is making things neat and clean like my house car etc. I am just hoping that i can stop at my goal of 150 becaue i have lost over seventy pounds in less than five months. I workout everyday . I am hoping not to become anorexic and think that I am too fat . NOw my skin sags and of course the breasts too.  I am hoping to have plastic surgery but wonder if I will truly be happy with my self if I am size six wth perky breasts. 

I do not know where to begin. I am down to 179.6. I am so happy that I am not going to return to my previous weight. I can walk up hills with my stroller without passing out. I have been working my behind off literally at the gym. Some people have noticed a change and given me compliments. You know how women are with compliments we take them but hen we complain that our breasts are droopy. I thank God for Bariatric surgery. Only issue I am having is I seem to either be constipated or eliminating all my waste at once. I try to get in a lot of water and fiber and avoid sugar. I had my blood work done and everything is good but my cholesterol so I am taking Lipitor. My goal is to make it to 170 by the end of the year and then 160 by my birthday on Jan 29.
   Bye for now

I have been trying to cross train my favorite classes a the gym are cardio kickboxing,  the cardio dance classeslike hip hop, water aerobics and cycling. I aboslutely hate just walking on the treadmill or having a personal trainer tell me to do more reps.  I was feeling confindent and wanted to try fitness yoga. I had the hardest time trying to sit indan style but I made it thru that . I made it thru about 25 minutes and gave up . I do want to work on strenth flexibility and balance but it was very hard.  Maybe when I get smaller I will be able to do more activities susch as yoga and pilates. I really need to wokr on my core muscles because I have horrible posture and that is where all my fat is around the middle.

Last nite I went to the support groups semi annual clothing exchange and found thre pairs of pants. I got to size tens and a a size fourteen dress pant that actually fit when I got it home.  My next goal is to work on fitting in the size tens I got. Someone told me today that they were not trying to offend me but I have a pretty face beacuse now I am slimmer you can see my bone structure . I thought that I was a big girl with a pretty face. I guess i do look better without the chubby cheeks. I am going to break down and buy some sweaters one day because it is starting to get cold.

I weight myself daily which is a big no no but I got up this morning and I was 198.8 of course without clothes. I am really enjoying eating fresh seafood. Last night I went  to Garrisons and their food was delicious even ate some lobster without butter.

Today was bittersweet . I absoulutely needed to clean out my closet. I had to get rid of the size 18 , 20 , 22 and even 24 . WOWI can not believe I had all of those sizes I am down to 14/16 and I was able zip up these jeans I wore seven years ago . I have paid a lot of money for clothes but now it is time to move on and take them to the the support group for a clothing exchange. I have lost 50 pounds since March I know this because Quick Weight loss called me to come in and weigh. They were hoping to sell me some more weeks on their program I started at 258.5 when I was there is in March and my goal was 230 but now I am 209 on their scale and it is unbelievable.

Today I did the walk from obesity . Next year will try to run and win an award for women my age. It was fun walking three miles made me hungry.
