Mrs. Readsalot Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 As of today I have lost 27 pounds. On Mother's Day I weighed 165 pounds and I was very upset about it. I decided I had to get off my fat rump and do something about it. This morning I weighed 138 and I am so thrilled. I have been walking, running, swimming, biking and/or doing some weights everyday. Most days I walk 5.3 miles at a brisk pace. I cut sugar and sugar containing food from my meals. I am eating healthy meals high in whole grains and lean protein. I feel wonderful. Also during this time I have been letting my hair grow out from the short style I wore for years. I had not had my hair cut, trimmed etc in six months. Today I went and got a Meredith Vieira style cut and I love it, my dh says I look ten years young Wahoo!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Readsalot Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Pictures? I'd love to see your new haircut too! Congratulations -- that is quite an achievement! I think my son may have a before picture on this phone. I was very against pictures being taken of me when I was heavy. I didn't even think of before and after pictures. I will have a picture taken today and try to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Walksalot now that would be good. Walking has seriously cut into my reading time. I am really going to have to work hard to keep up the walking once we start school next week. I suppose I will have to get up at 5:30. Are people actually awake at 5:30..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
