The sweet smell of victory. I'm loving it today. I didn't really think that there would be any weight lose at all, but was glad to see the scale prove me wrong. I miss the days of massive pounds coming off in a week, but being able to live and be comfortable is nice. I know that I will never eat like I did before. I feel good. I can exercise now without gasping for air. And rarely do I have a problem with clothes. And I feel good. I mean really good! Looking forward to feeling GREAT!
Our son graduates from high school this year, and we are taking the family on a cruise. My husband and I went on one in September and I managed a bikini, but then it was a 'Get real tan and don't care what other's think.' kinda thing. This time it will be a 'Oh yeah baby! I rock this!' thing! :) The bad thing is, when I was young, I didn't know I had a nice figure. Isn't that the way it was for so many of us. We took it for granted! I wasn't the girl who flaunted herself in front of the boys, or wore my skirts so short people wondered why you even put it on. Not that I would do that now, but man I could appreciate that body now!
Everyone tells me that once you hit 40, it is much harder to lose weight and get in shape. I have a few years, but that is my goal...to be in fabulous shape when that day comes. And stay that way.
Hope you all have a happy day, and keep on!
God Bless!

I'm in better shape at 41 than I was at 21. But I must say, the layer of fat on my belly seems more stubborn now. I've got the muscles underneath just waiting to come out and say hello again.
If you can afford it, hire a personal trainer starting 2 or 3 months before your cruise. You will learn so much and will be a pin-up girl by the time you step on the boat.

I not only didn't appreciate my body in high school, I thought I was overweight! Good old peer pressure and unattainable standards, huh! Well, I am heavier now, but I love myself more, and I think that is part of my success this time around, accepting who I am and what I look like. You will reach your goal and you will enjoy it.
