It has been so long ladies!

I have not disappeared, nor have I fallen off the wagon. I just cant get online at my new job, which is where I used to do all my calorie-count.com-ing. I still check in a few tiimes a week, catch up on forums and journals....just dont have much time to journal myself anymore....

Things are still going great. I think its safe to say I'm under 200 pounds now. I clocked in at 198.5 today. (its that time of the month this week, and i'm sure more will fall off after this is over). Considering I started at close to 280, that is amazing to me!!!!

I just started up personal training again after christmas, dropped the holiday pounds in a cinch and I amaze myself every time. The strength, coordination, balance, and just overall endurance I've gained is amazing! Trevor knows how to push me, and makes me do things I never would of thought I could do.  Like, I have muscle definition in places I never used to! It's so exciting to watch your body transform.

Today at work as I walked past the mirror in the bathroom, I realized for the first time how thin I'm looking. I was like, damn, I look hot! And I'm shopping at stores I never used to be able to, like american eagle (i loooove their jeans!!) and gap and express and all those fun, cute places.  I'm a size 12-14 now....started at a 22. my shoe size has also dropped from a 9 1/2-10 to an 8 1/2. I had to buy new running shoes because mine were getting huge and uncomfortable. 

So yeah, overall things still looking up. Less than 6 months til the wedding now! I'm already excited about how I look, and I'm hoping another 30 pounds will drop off before then!! :)
