Well I cannot believe that I am past my half way mark...when I look at the changes I've made - I am so proud...

I can go out to eat anywhere we've always gone and I make the right choices...
I have lost 47 pounds...
I am nurishing my body rather than stuffing it...
I don't put a taboo on anything - if I truely want it and it's worth it to me, I'll eat it but in a reasonable amount...
I am drinking water....
My skin looks healthier than it has in YEARS...
I love to exercise...
I joined the fitness center yesterday (first time ever)...
I got a Polar F6 (Pink) yesterday...
I am seeing muscles developing...

I started out WAY out of shape, couldn't walk my own stairs in my house without being winded-now I am running up them...
I started out not being able to do a jumping jack - they hurt my chest from surgeries-now I can do as many as Jillian throws at me in the 30 Day Shred...
I can do girl pushups - still not quite there to do traditional men's style but I will get there!

I am determined...
I feel great...
I am proud...
I am happy!
