I am returning to BuddySlim with my head on straight and a REAL commitment to exercise.  We (I) started a Biggest Loser Club at work and I won the last session.  Our new session is from 1/5/09 - 5/18/09.  I have 50lbs to go, but my goal for this challenge is 30lbs.  Since I have been working out more, I have noticed a big change in my body composition.  At 162lbs, I am wearing a size 12.  Last year at 127lbs, I was wearing size 10.  Muscle TRULY does help you get your body back.  Those that know me remember me saying that I couldnt see the weight loss, but everyone else could.  I still have that mentality, BUT I take pictures every month to show me my progress.  I have also made a weight and BMI chart to help me along.  They are on the fridge and are GREAT visual deterrents for my late night snacking.  I still have my moments, but I put in an extra 30 minutes in the gym to balance it out. 

I’ve been in a plateau for the last 2 weeks, but it’s ok.  Since Father’s Day 2008, i have lost 58lbs.  I knowmy body just needs a minute to adjust to the weight loss.  I’ve also gotten rid of ALL of my plus size clothing.  The rumor is true, your clothes will tell you what your eating habits are doing to your body.  I dont have any larger clothes to fall back on, so I have to either maintain or lose the weight.  That is also a great deterrent for me. 

Well, I know this is a long post, but I havent been on in a while.  Just wanted to give you a brief update of my life thus far.  I’ve done some peaking around and I see lots of my buddies are still on here and doing fantastic.  I almost didnt recognize Mary and Dawn’s eyes are so brillant, it’s amazing.  Enough for now, have to get back to work.  SVP is staring WAY too much right now. 

I’ll catch up with you all later!
