    This morning I went back to the school I taught at last year and saw many of my old students and former co-workers and several commented on my weight loss! I didn't start losing weight until after school let out in May and most of them haven't seen me since then.

    My daughter insisted that I Google Christing Aguilara's age because she absolutely couldnt believe that she is younger than I am (by about 15 years too!)

    Guess all this exercise and good eating is paying off! :-)

    I went to watch parade at my daughters school, haven't been for ages.

    Afterwards I was getting ready to leave and the headmaster came over to me and said "You've lost a heap of weight! You're looking really good"

    Made my day =)

    ran out of things to wear today.. my last pair of pants that fit are now held up with a safety pin. I don't know if I should shop now or after the last 5-10 lb are off.. I think I will tough it out.

    My NSV for today would be getting 2 workouts in... without going to the gym! Dog walking = a great second workout! Feels good to make my pup happy while I'm helping myself :)

    I saw a former colleague I hadn't seen since March and her mouth dropped when she saw how much weight I had lost. She kept saying, "Oh, my word! I can't believe it! You look so healthy and happy!" :)

    I'm getting used to portioning my food out! today I wanted seconds but didnt go for it! Saying over and over in my head Food is not a reward...It's only to nurish the body!

    rocked a core class today...doing pushups, but with my feet tip-toe on an exercise ball, and my hands on a medicine ball (that has handles on it. The instructor asked me if I had been practicing at home.

    Was away all weekend, not eating home cooked or drinking water and my size 12 still fit. Packed away the size 14.

    The towel wrapped around me so much better this morning. I also went down a hole in my belt!

    I tried on a man's jacket today at Costco. I USED to wear (and was too big for) a man's 2XL. Today I grabbed a large, thought about it for a sec, put it back and grabbed a medium. It zipped all the way up no problem. I didn't like it on, LOL, so didn't get it, but that was an awesome feeling.

    A professor made me feel like an idiot today because I didn't understand some of the math (I'm in Biochemistry) and now I feel like I won't be able to get any help with this stuff from him and I'm afraid for my grade (today is the first day--not a good start at ALL) and I cried on my way home from the university (prolly due in part to hormones).

    But you ****ing know what I did? I came home and ran two miles in 20:39, including an under-one-minute water break at a water fountain in between the two. That's the only time I stopped or slowed down. I have never ran two miles straight in my life and I went on to do 2.5 all the way home. Then I did 25 minutes of circuit training and burned another 200 calories (500 total).

    You know what I'm going to do now? Work out the math problems on my own so I don't fall behind and then spend a beautiful night with my girlfriend and my friends. I feel great now, that workout was just what I needed. No holier than thou professor is going to mess with any aspect of my life--not my grades, not my learning, and certainly not my fitness. The only thing that can stop me is me.

    I feel empowered.
