Almost a year later

As I sit here tonight listening to my kids argue and the husband snore away, I realize that this time last year I made a conscience effort to lose the former me. I never dreamed that night I would be below 200. I never dreamed I would have better blood work. I never dreamed I would miss dieting. As of today I have lost 60 lbs. Yes I have lost more but gained a bit back due to holidays. But that is okay my body needed a shock treatment. This year I will be joining the Y with my family. We will all work out and become stronger and healthier. We will all be the best we can be. My dear blog readers if you are still there, if you can dream it you can acheive it.

My doctor and I agreed on a final weight. We both agree that 140 is a good number to reach. That will leave me at a BMI of 25. I will be proud of myself. So off to go on my new adventure. Tomorrow I will take a picture of myself in my before clothes. I am so proud of who I am becoming. Slowly but surely I am turning into that Skinny new me. Happy 2012 everyone and thank you 2011 for showing me I could do it.

A new year, a new bmi

My whole life I have been obese. I knew it too. My heart would ache at the stares and rude comments. However I never saw myself as obese. Today my dream came true. I have been doing Zumba 2 on the wii for the past 2 weeks and the weight is just melting off.This morning at my weigh in I jumped on the scale. Imagine my surprise when I heard a new sound. I glanced up and it said Overweight. What? No way! That was my goal for next year. I got off again and it said the same thing. So my friends I am just overweight. I know I will never get to normal but that is okay. I am doing strong and I am succeeding. Almost one year into this and I am rocking it. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am very very blessed so far.
