I decided a while back to renew my committment to losing weight. I did this by joining a gym, after the trial period to make sure I'd like it, and trying to eat healthier...again. This time it's WORKING!!!! I've gone from 183, a couple of months ago (maybe less?) to "drum roll please"....166! I'm so super excited! I can't say as I really see a difference but it's nice that the scale is. I am LOVING the gym. I went to a spinning class and it kicked my butt but I loved it. I can't wait to do it again. I'm enjoying my yoga/pilates (whether the class, Wii or DVD's) and I have even started to like running. The eliptical is still a favorite as well. I want to try the kickboxing class but haven't gone yet. I'm just glad to finally see the weight coming off. I got myself a new dress for Easter to reward myself. Also with my bonus money from work in addition to the gym membership I got myself an IPOD so I have something to listen to while working out. The kids enjoy the Kids Club and that is nice as well. Makes me not feel so guilty for going. Anyways...I just wanted to share my progress with y'all. I still have a ways to go but I know I can't do it all at once. Plus I'm sure I'll have set backs but I WILL keep trying and doing what I can. Here's to losing more and reaching my goal!
On a side note we may be changing our summer vacation plans but are still going to be able to save up and do something fun for/as a family. Just waiting on those pesky tax returns. Oh well, at least we're getting something, that's better than nothing. I'm starting to realize how blessed I am and how grateful I should be. It only took me 34/35 yrs.

This is great news, Rach! Congrats on the weight loss & good job keeping dedicated!
ReplyDeleteRachel - this is Lotus (judithlee2@verizon.net) Left out the 2 from my email address on your sister's blog, sorry if you tried to write. I heard from a friend of someone in your family that it was not a lie that Kaijsa was starving herself. She has been living with her father, the person said, and now she is in the hospital. Please don't feel that you have to hide this tragic secret. This is happening to a lot of kids nowadays, and you shouldn't be ashamed, you should try just to find out what she was so upset about (maybe because she was about to graduate?) I'm a therapist, and I'm used to the troubles people have. I don't mean to upset you. I'm glad the secret was discovered, anyway, and that she didn't have to die. I lost my daughter last summer, so I was very affected by Kaijsa's posts on Yahoo Answers. I wrote in a few places for people to write to her and beg her to get help. But she made it clear that she wanted to die and she just wanted to know how long it would take and what it would feel like.Yahoo Answers rewarded me by deleting all those posts and fining me 10 points apiece (we get points when we answer questions) Big deal, it was worth it, if our pleas helped her at all, know that people care.
ReplyDeletewell, I won't bother you any more - don't even know if you are going to get this.
