This week I gained about half a pound, but muscle mass went up, fat went down over 2 points (or inches is what Debbie calls it).......so, she said it is still success because fat went down. I feel it in my clothes....my size 11 jeans are loose! I exercised 4 times this week; I'm able to exercise now without dying, without having to gasp for air! I met with Dr. Williams today too.....got a good report from him as well. I just could not be happier.......well, maybe I could be; if I was at my goal of 70 pounds gone!!
I already feel like a million bucks...my feet don't hurt or swell anymore, I have energy to exercise after working all day, I like looking in the mirror once again....what an absolute blessing this has been.
Well, I have to get to work; it's our weekend duty at the clinic this weekend. The gym closes at 8p on Fridays and I won't get off work til after that, so I'll go Saturday after work, and on Sunday. Another weigh in awaits next Friday, and I want to show losses in all the columns except for muscle!

I used to call myself fluffy, not fat. But it is what it is and I'm going to take this heaven sent gift to change my health, my life, and I'm going to run with it!

I feel so blessed to have been one of the chosen to participate in this weight loss program sponsored by the Fountain of Youth in So. Ogden. Sending that entry form from the Sunday paper and the subsequent phone call from them is forever changing my life. I will be able to ride my bike more easily; maybe even keep up with my husband on his. More importantly, I will be able to keep up with the grandkids and not be the one left behind on the playground or on the hiking trail. With diabetes and high blood pressure rampant in my family, it is high time to do something about my weight and to be given this most wonderful gift is truely heaven sent. So, watch me lose this coming year, a total of 70 pounds and be the person I once was. For many of you, I've only looked like this....but not for long!
