Well Sparkpeople,

I am officially under 200 lbs! I haven't been that weight in over 10 yrs. Today is not my weigh in day, Sunday is. But I'll take the 196 lbs with the utmost pleasure. All these baby steps have paid off. I have more to go but this just makes me joy I haven't felt in a very long time. I feel so proud that I have accomplished this much thus far.

Last evening in bootcamp class, I was able to do some things I had not been able to do. I was also not the last one to finish exercising at the end of each minute. I think I'm finally learning to let go of the fear of failure and just put it all out there. It does help that I am stronger and can move easier.

Yesterday I got 100% on the trivia quiz. As you well know that's a definite plus. It really makes you feel smart!

I am bursting with pleasure and pride inside!! I don't feel hopeless about my weight anymore. It's hard work. I still get hungry and want to eat everything in sight! But no food is worth destroying the results of all the minutes on the treadmill, all the bootcamp classes, calorie counting, sparkpoint acquiring, information gathering, food preparation, abstaining from alcohol, getting proper rest, etc... WHEW!!!(huffin and a puffin)

I am just having a FANTABULOUS DAY!!!!!



Blessings
Have a HAPPY EASTER!!!
