Maintaining and new jeans!

Happy summer!!! After a week of holiday festivities, and TRYING really hard to stick to my plan but not always resisting the treats, I was happy to see that my weight is at least maintaining, and NO weight gain. While I was in Salt Lake, I went shopping with my daughter Serena, and I was thrilled to find I could fit into size 14 Gap jeans!!! They had an awesome deal and we both got some for only $13.99 a pair! Wow...I just may get down to a size 12 after all!!!

29.7

My BMI is FINALLY only in the overweight range. I am NO LONGER "obese." YAY!!! The scale is starting to stick at 189.

My goals for May

Nothing fancy, I would just like to be in the 180's. I bought myself a Wii Fit a couple weeks ago and I still haven't taken it out of the box. Fear of new things. I do need to incorporate exercise, the Wii looked fun. Gotta do it.
Goal #1- Lose into te 180's by June 1.
Goal #2- Wii Fit at least 3 times a week, starting this week.

2 Points!

I recently learned about a woman who had lost 212 pounds (!!!) in 2 years and has kept it off for the last 5 years!!! You can meet her on her website, http://www.kimbensen.com/. She's my new hero!!! Anyway, I also happened to find a You Tube of her doing a cooking show, making this wonderfully easy, REALLY GOOD dessert, and it's only 2 points per serving, 1/8 of the cake! This photo is the one we made for Mattea's birthday, and hopefully the You Tube below it will show you how to make it. YUMMM!!!

Who, me? Exercise?

Well...the Weight Watchers website has been promoting starting a walking or running team to train for a 5K walk/run. So I went to their website and signed up as a team of one. I really was just looking for an idea for a fun way to exercie, since I'd really rather not... They offered a free 8-week plan so I went ahead and signed up...and before I knew it, I was looking for a 5K to commit to. So hopefully one day this week I will be headed to Albuquerque to fill out an application. It's called the Cherry Garcia Run and takes place in Albquerque on June 28, 2009. Let me tell you, if it happens it will be a "first" for this 51-year-old un-athletic grandma...

18 again!

It's official! 20 pounds gone and all my size 22W jeans were falling off big time. So I went to Walmart today and bought some real live Levi's from the REGULAR section, size 18 REGULAR!!! I put them on easily, tucked my t-shirt in, and left all the tags on so I could dance around the living room. WAHOO!!!!!
