Talk about overwhelmed...life has a funny way of slapping the shit out of us sometimes. But, here I am and I am going as strong as ever! I am now down 35 lbs as of yesterday!!!! One more pound and I have reached my first major hurdle. From there...70 more lbs to go and I can't wait. I am loving this journey. Got rid of more clothes yesterday (that feels awesome b/c they are too big, not too tight for once!) and my VIP girls are threatening to come and raid my closet and pull a what not to wear bit on me. I was given direct orders to get rid of one shirt in particular, so that will go today :)
I love these girls - they really stand by and support a sister and I will continue to do the same for them. I love that we are all successful together...no jealousy, no one up...just love, support, congrats, and encouragement! I am blessed. I know I don't have many people in my life, but the ones I have chosen to share it with are pretty amazing.
I am still moving forward with my life vision and despite a break (not a bump) in the road, I am still excited to see what comes next!
Moving on...

A - Accept your current reality and feelings
C - Choose your life vision
T - Take action to get there
So, basically it is time for me to stop pretending and figure out (honestly)...who am I? What have I done? What can I still do? What can I have in this life? What steps do I need to take to get to happy head space?
First, I must assess where I am and where I have been to see the kind of person I would like to be.
Come with me...I welcome the accountability.
As of today, August 10, 2009 - I am down 32 lbs!!!! I really didn't think it was possible, as I have been in a slump the past 8 years or so...but, here I am proving it to myself every day. And no tricks...just watching my portions and exercising. I still eat whatever I want, just less...and it was easy to increase exercise since I did NONE! I am now running 30 minutes 2 days a week, and soon will increase that to 4-5 times a week.
Pimpmaster Flex is going to show me some exercises for my pecs - to keep the girls supported with the weight loss :)
I am so excited, but I have a headache...so, I will celebrate silently!
4 pounds to go for first milestone.

So, the VIP girls (Ashley, Amy, and myself) have a new addition to the group...the one, the only - da da - Pimpmaster Flex (a.k.a. Jorge).
The best is yet to come,

So, today it is official. I am down 28 lbs. I still can only tell a little bit, but when I think of that number it is large. I should give myself more credit. I mean, I am proud of myself...I am just overwhelmed with how much I still have to lose. The good news is that I am still very excited about the process. To continue the excitment, I have made a list of the things I will reward myself with for every 10 lbs lost. I would like to lose 78 more lbs...so, I will list my 8 things to get (in no particular order).
1. Coach bag - Op Art Sabrina
2. Shirts
3. Pants
4. Smaller and Sexier Panties
5. Laptop
6. Trip with my best friend Nathan
7. Coach Wallet to match grey bag in #1 spot
8. Large and travel bottles of L'eau D'Issey
8 lbs to my first reward, hmmm...what will it be? I suspect the bag since I loved it so much!!!!
I am getting back on track with the walking at work, so this should be a little easier. I have slowed down lately. I am also running 30 minutes at a time now, so that is very exciting. Now that I will be working days, I hope to run and do weights at least 5 days a week. I anticipate the walking at work will decrease, but I will still make it a priority on my downtime.
As John Bingham says, "Waddle On!"
