Changes

I haven't written in a while... but I'm still alive! I'm still doing good on the diet - officially 40.5 lbs. down as of today. I had to go bra shopping because my boobs are shrinking! Just where every woman wants to lose their weight!

However, I'm getting a little bored of the food choices. I've been surfing the web a lot lately looking for good low calorie recipes that use a lot of veggies. I'm getting excited to experiment with new veggies that my family has never tried before. We have a farmer's market close by and I have to admit that I've never been to it. Well, that is going to change! In just a few weeks, I'll be back to regular food and I'm determined to eat healthy and pass this on to the rest of my family. Heck, they need to eat healthy too!

Some of the obstacles that have been in the way that I've managed to overcome: a bachelorette party, baby shower, birthday party for my daughter, having pizza in the house, mom's baked from scratch chocolate chip cookies and a couple of camping trips.

A few things that I need to improve on: more exercise, not giving in to tempting tastes and getting more calcium.

I'm going to keep plugging away. I'm thisclose to my first goal which is 250 lbs. My next goal after that is to be 234 which would put me in the "obese" category for my BMI. At that weight, I won't be "morbidly obese" anymore. It just seems weird that I want to be obese. But that is a good goal to shoot for and I'm going to get there!
