I haven't been this weight in TWENTY years!
Wahoo!!!!
So I'm ready to tell you my good news. I actually got a little misty yesterday. It was a good day on the scale. I had dipped down in to the 140's months ago, but I dipped back out. The belly was getting smaller so I wasn't concerned. I step on the scale every day just to keep myself in check. I pay more attention to what my body is doing than what my weight is.
I am now comfortably in the 140's. I've been there for a little while, but I wanted to make sure it was consistent before I mentioned it. HOLLA! I am getting so close to my goal. I actually believe that I can get in to that bikini on June 1.
So here's the big reason for the Celebration. I have not been in the 140's since my freshman year of college. That was 20 years ago. And frankly, I look WAY better than I did then. I am fit. Back then I was just flab.
TWENTY YEARS! It's awesome and sad at the same time. This is why I am writing this blog. I am still amazed at the number of people I reach. I just want to tell everyone that it's not too late to change. It's not too late to live a healthier life. Don't wait the 20 years I did. PLEASE don't wait that long. I will never have the "wrinkle-free tight little body" that I could have. No matter how skinny I get now, I will still have signs of my age. (BAH). I would give anything to go back to that College Freshman and show her the path she was on. Sadly, I know she would not have listened to me.
Recently I was hanging with a friend who kept telling her daughter "Aunt Jennie is smaller than me now". I LOVED hearing that. And I should be. I'm shorter than most people. I should be smaller. It's about dang time!
So now my goal is to get down to my high school weight. HaHa. I'm hoping to hit it by Easter :-)
