It's been a really great day...

...and it's not even 10 o'clock??!! I went into Curves this morning and checked the scale to see where I am. I'm back down. Okay, here's the numbers. Last month I was 231. For 4 weeks I lost a pound/wk, bringing me down to 227. Tuesday I weighed in at 235 (up 4 from my last monthly weighin). Today, 2 days later, I'm at 228. Weird or what??!! Either way, I'll take it!!!! This is just 8 pounds away from my high school grad weight of 220. Then I remember being 180 in Grade 9. I have no reference below that. It might be shocking for me to put those numbers out there, but as I lose the weight, I've changed my thinking. They're just numbers. So what. My heaviest weight was 301.6...I'll never forget it. My husband proposed to me at that time. Shows you how much he really loves me. :)

I went to WWers shortly after our engagement. I wanted to be at goal by my wedding day, 2 year away. I think I reached around 255. It wasn't goal but it was a great goal. Then I trained for the Dublin Marathon with Team Diabetes weighing in at 235. I got pregnant 2 weeks before the marathon. I gained 40 with my pregancy. Now I've lost that and I'm continue to lose. I want to be a healthy adult. And for me, E is my driving force. I want to be around for her. I want to be around for my grandkids. I want to be able to get down on the floor without complaining about my knees and angles. I want my adult life to be free from high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes like my parents. I want to reverse all those years of abuse and treat myself with the love I deserve. And now I'm starting to do that.

Along with the weight drop, I had some other lovely things make my day a glorious one. DH, GLH, knew how tired I was yesterday. He offered to sleep on the couch, WITH the monitor, and let me have a great sleep in the bed by myself. It was wonderful!!!! I am still tired today but had a good rest. Then traffic went my way this morning so that was just dandy. I even had enough time to get a coffee from one of my fav places (Java Blend). Looks like this day is going to keep going up, up, up! Hope your days goes the same.
