Well, many of you (all four of you who read my blog!!) know that i never, ever weigh myself. I tend to only weigh myself at the doctors office. I have a scale in my house, but it is in the bathroom that i never use. This summer i was diagnosed with high(ish) cholesterol, and it was a HUGE wake-up call to me. I am not, nor was i then, HUGE, but i was packing on some extra weight, and eating out at restaurants like nobody's business. After my diagnosis, i decided right then and there that it was time to get everything under control. I concentrated on whole grains, lean meats, upping my fiber, and just eating WHOLE, HEALTHY foods. I cut out restuarants for over a month. HUGE HUGE thing for me. I cut out alcohol for the most part.
I was rewarded last month with a much lower cholesterol count, having raised my good and lowered my bad. I also lost weight. I think at last months doctors visit i had lost about 10-15 pounds? Well, today i decided to weigh myself, and i weigh 148! This is pretty major for me. i have not weighed that since my 20's, when we lived in Germany. Best way to gain weight? Move to Germany and drink some awesome beer, and eat pommes and schnitzel at every opportunity, for three years!
So...WOW...i am pretty freaking pleased with myself.

Way to go! I'm working on being healthy too... hopefully I'll get skinny with you :)
You should be dancing around your house with joy at this moment! Hooray!
And that dancing totally burns mega calories!! Nobody thought you were a cow! However, when you get your Christmas Box you will think I thought you were a cow. g
Happy Dance for you!
Hooray! It feels good to know you lost weight while trying to do something else, doesn't it? I like the pictures of Henry in your previous post, too.
