What's That You Say, Mrs. Robinson?

Celebrating a loss

I am pleased to announce to the world that as of today, I have lost 20 pounds since the beginning of September! I can't tell you how pleased I am and how much I am enjoying it. I know that as the pounds come off, they will become increasingly more difficult. However for now, it is not difficult, necessarily, but just a matter of being diligent. I'm about a a size and a half smaller and so much more comfortable in my body than I was a few months ago. I enjoy getting dressed in the morning. I don't always feel like the fat girl in the room anymore. Ideally, I would like to lose another 20, but if I only go about 10 or 15 more, I'll be VERY happy with it. I'm 5'6" and by many accounts I should be closer to 135, but I think that 150 (which is 25 fewer pounds than I am now) would be where I would hit the floor of where I want to be. I'm sure if I starting training rigorously I could get closer to the 135, but I just don't have any desire to be THAT thin. I just want to get out of the "overweight" category.

Thanks to everyone who has sent words of encouragement and hope and support. It really has made a difference. Onward, and downward!

PASTA & WINE

Pasta, Wine, Pasta, Wine, Pasta, Wine, Pasta, Wine.

Damn it! How can I loose weight if there is pasta and wine in the effing house? I don't care about the Ben and Jerry's in the freezer, or the Baby Ruth bars from Halloween, or the pounds of cheese in the fridge.

It's the damn pasta and the wine.

CARBAHOLIC! Duh!

Still, I've lost about 16 lbs in 2+ months. But I gotta think it would be twice that if I didn't love my angel hair and chardonnay so damn much.
