Update on my weight loss....

Hi all!
I realized that with all of these updates lately, I haven't mentioned a thing about Weight Watchers or my goal to "get fit". So well, here's the update! I have been successfully maintaining my weight for months now. I still would love to drop a few more pounds so I have breathing room when things like THANKSGIVING comes around so I don't have to worry about messing up so badly!! Since my last weigh in post, I have actually lost a bit more. I bounce between 120 - 122 depending on what I have eaten that day and week!! I feel great. My biggest issue now is because of the two pregnancies and losing all the weight, I have some jiggling going on. Especially around my c-section area, and well, lets face it, my BOOBS! It's time to TONE UP! I decided that while the pilates has really been working GREAT on my upper abs and over all slimming down... it isn't toning those areas I really need help with. I just joined a new gym - Planet Fitness. It's a bare bones sort of gym, where I will go to just work the machines and do a bit of cardio. It's only $10 a month!!!! Yes, I know, that is SOOO reasonable! What is there to lose? I have my consultation set up for today at 4pm to get weighed, measured with a personal trainer who will put together a workout for me that will hopefully help me with my goals.

My friend Kristin is a photographer and she took our yearly family pictures. While she was at it she took a couple for me showing off my hard work. Here it is, with her logo since I haven't purchased it yet.





















I really do feel proud of what I've accomplished with my weight loss. It was a hard road, but I just didn't lose sight of the rewards. The greatest reward is being able to go to a store and pick out whatever I want, and it's not a matter of it fitting, just if I like it! I must say, lately, watching the Biggest Loser has really been motivating. I don't watch too many reality shows, but that is VERY inspirational! It feels so good to be healthy and have more energy. It also doesn't hurt to just feel pretty! :)

Have a wonderful day!
Love, Holly
