I haven't been here in almost a year, but I guess that's better than my partners-in-weight-loss. I will have to harass them a bit...
So tonight, I decided I needed to post. I started by skimming back through older posts to try to find my high weight.
Something like 226.7. Yeah. That's sounds about right.
Today, I got on the scale and got a 195.8.
That's right...since I started this, I have now, officially, lost 30 pounds.
It only took 3 years and developing type II diabetes and having to cut out virtually all carbs and being on three medicines for diabetes.
I have participated in 3 5K's. I have placed in one. (3rd!)
I still take tap. Right now, we are dancing to what, for me, is a super appropriate song -- "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor. (Because, let's face it, I ain't no size 2.)
I'm doing a book challenge and have finished 25 of 30 books this year. I've got an awesome idea for Nano month next month (wish me luck in finally completing a novel!)
And I need new clothes. Because my pants are falling off of me. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 16 or 18 (depending on the pants). I wore a pair of jeans Friday that I haven't worn in YEARS. My size 2X shirts are way too big...but I'm not sure I'm completely comfortable in a 1X or XL just yet....but I am. Mostly. Somewhat. Maybe.
Did I mention that I don't have to unbutton or unzip even those size 16 jeans (that are still too long) that I am wearing to take them off?
Hey....I've lost 30 pounds. Even if it did take 3 years...I've lost 30 pounds!
