Holy Cow! or make that Holy Optifast!

It's official! I have lost 30 pounds since November! Okay, most of that is in the last 5 weeks, but still....

Things I Can Do Now!

1. I can now buy pants in a regular department store--not in the "Women's Section" either. (What the heck does that mean, anyway? Are skinny chicks NOT women?)

2. Cross my legs...yup! I could not cross my legs before...(no comments from the peanut gallery, please!)

3. Bend down and tie my shoes. It's true, I wear slip-ons for a reason.

4. Resist temptation. A colleague waved a box of donuts in my face, AND I wasn't even interested! (That was a total lie, by the way. You know I wanted a chocolate old fashioned!)

5. Bore total strangers with my weight loss journey. Yes, dear readers, you guys aren't the only ones! Every restaurant server, grocery clerk, and hapless student of mine has the listen to my endless weight loss travails!

So, the real news! I lost another 3.5 pounds! ALL FAT! My cholesterol and blood pressure remain normal, and my labs look great. Other than almost fainting in first period this morning, I am doing well!

External Goal: 160
Internal Goal: Inner Peace, World Peace, and, let's be honest here, a hot bod!

See you next week!
