Cathy -
GREAT NEWS on the forever gone 2 pounds! Congrats!!!
I am exactly 11 months further out than you and had almost the same
starting weight. In my 3rd year I "only" lost 25 pounds, which
seems terribly slow compared to the first 2 years. But, when I
think of the fact that I AM STILL LOSING AND SO ARE YOU I am very
thankful for even the small losses. At this stage of the game I
know the reality of regain is just a few bites away! It is such a
struggle now but I have not made goal and am determined to do so. I
will keep you accountable if you will do the same for me! We have a
little over six weeks till the reunion in March so how about if we
encourage each other and both make that goal of 3 pounds?
You go girl....you can do it!

Okay, then starting today my goal is to get more water in (as soon
as I finish this cup of coffee...LOL). What are you going to do
today towards our goal?
The challenge is ON! I got in some extra walking at lunch time
because of stupidity, but hey any exercise counts! I think it
should count extra since it was so cold out! LOL :-) I drove to our
public library to pick up a book and locked my keys in the car! I
live a little over a mile from there so walked home and got my son
to drive me back and used his key to open my car, and made it back
to work in time! I am NOT a good exerciser. At most I walk up to
the 4th floor at work a few times a day. Now to get busy on my
water.
You're right, there is no way I could have walked it 3 years ago. I
could hardly make it through the grocery store without resting and I
would avoid going places if there was much walking involved. I
would have called someone and waited until I could be picked up (and
cried). The sense of freedom because you can do so many things that
weren't possible before is awesome!
For 2 days now I have been lifting my shoulders so I can see the
holes by my collarbone...it just tickles me to see it. Doesn't take
much to amuse me, huh?

Isn't that neat? I also have found out I have a tail bone and it
wasn't a thrilling discovery. Sometimes cushioning is better! LOL

Now if you guys want to compare bat wings I'll just warn you right
now...I can fly!
Valerie
You have a way with words..."cuddle chunky." I laughed out loud and
my boss wants to know what was so funny. I just said you don't want
to know to keep from embarrassing myself and him!!! LOL
Wasn't Rocky (of Rocky and Bullwinkle) a flying squirrel?
=D
Rob and I are with you on that and we are no where near where you and Mike are. But girlfriend someday we will be there with you.
Hope you guys all enjoyed the little skip of snow we got this morning.
