Where has the road taken me?

Hello to all and sorry I have not posted or been around to read how everyone is doing. It has been quite a while since I have blogged. There has been numerous events since October. One event, and most special, is that my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversay in November. Both of us were a hundred pounds lighter than we were on our 24th anniversay. We have continued our lifestyle, but hid a road block in December (something I will go into more detail at a later time).

The new year started with us refocusing on our goal and actually making a deadline to achieve it. It really puts things in perspective and makes us concentrate more on the things we have to do in order to meet it. Otherwise, we would have an open -ended goal and no real commitment to achieve it. Our boys continued to participate in the lifestyle we were now modeling for them. To date, our family has lost over 300 pounds. I am so thankful that we have come this far.

My trainer told us last night about some news about the numbers I knew he was taking. As you know for previous posts, I am a scale kinda gal. I wanted to see the scale moving. Sure, I paid attention to his measurements on a monthly basis to see if I was going up or down. What I never did was look to see how things measured out from the beginning. The first time I let my trainer measure me was in December of 2009. Last night, he gave me the comparison results from December 2009 to March
28, 2011. So, in thirteen months I have lost 38.75 inches. It didn't hit me until I was in bed. Where did three feet of fat go? It is coming off my body! I cried happy tears and so realized that, although this journey is hard, it is so worth it.
