Mission accomplished (so far)

So, now that September 31st has come and gone, I thought maybe I should blog about my big accomplishment. I have hit my goal and am down 35 lbs. I can now fit into my wedding dress again. It has been fun to buy a few new clothes, but now it's on to my next goal.

My sisters have a trainer at their local gym and he is great. He has let me come sit in on sessions, though I don't have a membership and my sisters taught me how to do the nutrition and calorie counting. After our big move in April, I joined a gym here and I work out 5 days a week for 1 hour a day and I count calories. It is amazing how much better I feel. I have signed up for a few races (a 10K at the end of September) and another 10K next May, and I have started swimming again. Yay! On to the next 10 lbs!

Awesome news! I have been back to swimming, too. Unfortunately, just as I get the motivation - my kids get sick so I can't take them to the child watch :) I have about 8 lbs. to go. Keep it up! Way to go!
