Not morbid anymore! :)

I am freaking stoked about today's weigh-in. I have been hovering at 240 lbs for daysssss and its been bugging me like crazy. Today I finally dropped out of the 240s into the 230s and made it to 238 lbs! Three pounds down from last week! Which officially makes me at a 35 lb weight loss since Jan 15th and now my BMI is under 40. So I am no longer considered 'Morbidly Obese'. Now I'm just 'Obese'. hahaha. I know that sounds like a weird thing to be excited about, but I am nonetheless. :)

Moving along

I'm slowly inching my way forward and continuing to progress. I'm at 240 lbs now and been doing plenty of exercise. My biggest hurdle is eating right whenever I'm gone from the house for too long. I'll slip and say well I can have a little of this and then I'm like well I had a little of this so it wont be so bad if I have a little of that and then the day spirals downward. But I'm still firm in believing that every day is a new chance to right my wrongs and improve my choices. I got lucky yesterday in that while we were out all day long, we were at the zoo so we walked and walked and walked for hours on end. Lots of good healthy cardio to burn all the extra calories I was eating. However if I had just ate well I could be burning the fat that is already on my body. Thinking about it now jsut gives me more drive to want to do better next time though.

I got a chance to video chat with Marci from IUTBF on Friday night. She was able to answer some more of our questions and it was really cool to just talk to her as if we were face to face. She's a very real and normal, even typical, 19 year old girl. We discussed things about the show and then moved on to plenty of other fun topics and all in all, she's a really awesome girl. She even mentioned right off the bat when she saw me come in the chatroom that she recognized my name and saw me always posting on her page and the other cast members and the IUTBF facebook too. lol. So that was cool that she sorta knew who I was. Jett popped up in the background of my camera a few times and she had to say how cute he was. lol. Once I finally figured out my microphone problems and got to talking she commented on my voice saying 'No wonder you've got a baby, with a sexy voice like that it'd be hard not to if someone was alone in the dark with you.' hahah. I had a great time talking with her and the few other fans who popped in to the room, but I stayed up way too late and was tired all day at the zoo Saturday. lol.

Ladies Day out!

So yesterday I spent most all day and night with my two best and closest friends. I picked up Ashley and on our way to Tyler we stopped in Athens to see a guy friend of mine who offered to cook us all lunch. It was good food and great company. Really wonderful to see him again and how well he is doing now. After that we made it to Angie's house and started off our day doing some shopping. We browsed a few different shops and got some really cool stuff. We were running low on time and decided to skip bowling but we did stop and play 18 holes of putt putt golf. Ashley had never played it before and so we got to show her the ropes. lol. Leanette met up with us and then we went to Cici's for a quick bit of dinner before returning to Angie's place to change clothes. Got ourselves all ready to go and then headed out to the club for Ladies Night. After a few drinks we worked up the courage to get our butts on the dance floor and tried to learn a few new moves from those around us. lol. All in all it was a great time and even though I didn't eat as well as I normally would, I still got plenty of exercise throughout the day and burned tons of calories away.

Today when I checked my weight the scale said I had dropped another pound and a half. Woohoo! :) Went for a nice long walk around the neighborhood and just enjoyed all the beautiful weather we're finally having again. It's warmed back up and the clouds have all gone away. Tomorrow we'll be headed to the zoo and gonna walk all over that place too while it's still so nice out.
