Today has been a great day!

First, I weighed today and 220.6 come up on the scale--that is the first time in 25 years I have seen 220 on the scales!!! yupi3ti.gif Means a total loss so far of almost 59 pounds! woohoo.gif

Then, I went for a 33 miles bike ride in strong winds just to prove to myself I could do it--winds were steady at 15mph with gusts up to 27mph--and I still averaged 13.9mph speed! w00t.gif

Then, I went to buy me a new pair of dress slacks--the ones I just bought in June no longer fit! So... I fit into a size 20! That's down another size since June! a084.gif When I started in April, I was wearing a size 28 :sick:


I hope everyone else is having a great day, too!
