Feeling on Top of the World

I can't remember when I have felt this good. I got up this morning and got on the scales and am now 21 lbs lighter. MAN, that is such an accomplishment for me at this age. I took Thursday off as an exercise day to get myself back in tip top shape. I didn't intentionally miss my WellStar workout - I couldn't get off work to go this one time, but when that happened, I just decided that today was my day of rest and I am glad I took that time to re-energize myself.

I have lost two shirt sizes which is amazing. I WAS wearing anywhere from a 3x to 4x depending on the blouse. Today I am happily waring a 2x. WOW. Now I can open up my 2x suitcase and salvage some clothes. WHoo Whoo. I was going to go to Curves at lunch, but due to work activities, I have to put that one off, but will be at Just Fitness after work. Then on Saturday morning at 7am it is Boot Camp time with Crysta and then on Sunday my weekly 3 mile walk. This is starting to be habit now and I am loving it. Win or lose in the competition, I am now on a roll to good health and feeling so good about it. This has been a long time coming and I know I will never go back to where I was. It was a very painful place and now I am starting to smile again and get my old confidence back.

I know I have a long way to go, but seeing what I can accomplish has taught me many things. You are never too old or too large to make monumental changes. I am a woman who has had a major heart attack, quintuple heart by-pass, high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes and look at me go. Never say never, EVER.

Oh and by the way, Marcella was voted off today. I will miss her. She was a blast and so funny.
