I won!!! :happy: I'm sure the weight loss is because I'm sick from a cold, but I did it anyway. Now after I get better, I just have to not…

Alright, so as many of you know I am a home ec teacher....which entails a plethora of classes. My biggest weakness class....Food Production. I pick random recipes and my kids cook them, well typically I end up wolfing down at least one plateful. Today, it was breakfast burritos (My biggest weakness these days has been…

YAY!!!!!
So, today I hit 40lbs lost!!!! That's 40lbs in 10 weeks, so 4 pounds a week!!! I actually started out very fast (recent 20lbs gain that was easy to lose and also with a lot of weight to lose) and it made my already failing gallbladder attack me every single time I ate. Because of this (and testing to prove that my…

Sucess comes over time :-)
So when I began this trip to lose weight, I was in pretty good condition. By that I mean, I could run a mile if i have to but didn't prefer to. So I began training on the treadmill and slowly but surely, it was fun to run. This past weekend, it all came full circle and I did something I have never done before: Ran 5k !!…

WHAT!? WHAT? Oh no they didn't!
So, I went into Goodwill yesterday to see if they had some kind of furniture to fit my shoe fetish (he he!) Couldn't find anything, so as I was about to leave I passed the jeans/pants roundabout and say, hmmmm, let's see what they have there. :ohwell: So I found a couple of DKNY, Banana Republic, Gap and some other great…
