Happy late Turkey Day! I can't believe it's been almost three weeks since I've updated. Thanksgiving was also my 6 month anniversary. Things are going well--I'm stagnating on weight loss right now (at -107 and holding), but it is really because the last few weeks have been so busy that I have been crap about eating right and exercising.

I haven't packed lunch in a LONG time--something I am getting back to this week. I also have to change my gym schedule to accommodate my ridiculus work schedule. It worked so well for me to go to the gym at night, but that just isn't possible any more with the new classes I took on (until the end of January).

I hosted Thanksgiving at my house this year for friends that couldn't get home--we had a great time! I also did a ridiculus amount of shopping on Friday--got almost my entire Christmas list knocked out in about 8 hours!!

Here's a few pics from the last few days:

Happy Veteran's Day!

I'm in the Century Club!!!!

Whoo-hoo! I finally made it! I can't believe what a difference this last five (can it only have been five?) months has made. In May, I couldn't find shoes to fit my swollen feet, clothes to fit my expanding body, I felt horrible and looked worse.

Today, I put on a size 18 skirt, cute boots, and a cute hot pink sweater and went to work. I can't ever remember wearing an 18--I went from children's clothes, to size 9 in Juniors and rapid-fire to 22-24 by 10th grade. I am cuter than ever--and more active too. I'm even working on getting a bit of a love life (let me not jinx myself by explaining too much now!).

I went to my "six month" checkup on Friday and all seems well. I still have to get my labs done, and I'll be curious to see how they look. Dr. H upped my biotin to 2,000 mg (mcg?) from 1,000 because I am still experiencing hair loss. It is slowing down already, so I hope that continues--and it even begins to grow back!!

If you are reading out there and wonder if this could happen for you too--believe it! You CAN achieve it! Ya-hoo!!
