Week 10

Again, a delay in posting.  I've been so busy and, as the year draws to a close, things don't seem to look like they're going to let up!

I'm now lost over 31 pounds!  It's amazing!  I can really see a difference, and I'm back to enjoying shopping for clothes.  I'm sure that my husband (and my bank account) are thrilled.  I'll love it more, for sure, when I've hit my goal...but it's nice to try something on and have it look ok.

I went to my 20th high school reunion last weekend.  It was fantastic, and I really loved seeing everyone who attended.  I also just returned from a conference in Washington DC.  I had a great time with my friends that I only see once or twice a year.  Food was a source of stress during the conference.  I had no food readily available, and when I'm left to my own devices, watch out!!  Between restaurant options and conference-provided lunches, I was really nervous that I was going to gain weight.  But, I won again!  I tried very hard to avoid anything that my body doesn't need, or doesn't fit into my nutritional goals each day.  I stepped on the scale this morning, and the number is lower than the number it was before I left.  Go me!!!

I think that I may be getting the hang of this lifestyle change!!
