We just got back from 2 weeks away. We left June 28 and got back July 13. I'm thrilled to report I weighed in at 175! Woo hoo! I totally thought I would have gained. I'm fairly comfortably in a size 14 shorts. I'm hoping to trim down more this fall.
I've been getting some muscle balance work done with the kinesiologist and thus haven't been doing any strength training. Ok, and honestly, I haven't been working out either (work pretty much does that for me). The water park is going to weekends only soon and I'll be cutting back my hours again. Great timing for a work out routine to start.

Still alive...
I know, I haven't posted in forever. I'm doing well, still losing weight, just not on Smart for Life anymore. I have a summer job (a bit of a change from my current) that I need to be conditioned for and it was time to condition.
I'm still using metformin and have continued to chip away. Only 3 pounds, ok a little more, since I did go out of town and pick up a couple pounds. Once I went back down though, it's been pretty steady. Not nearly as dramatic as SFL, just ounces at a time now. I'm also doing the SFL concept of steady blood sugar with eating frequently. I'm just smarter (than I was) about the calories I put in.
I actually had to go out and buy new underwear. You know you've done some serious weight loss when your drawers are falling down all the time. I'm also needing to do some clothes shopping. Yeah!
Ok, I'm not trying to be dramatic but...Smart for Life really did change my life. Following the diet changed my mental eating patterns. I'm quite certain it also helped my body to figure out that my set point doesn't need to be so high.
Last big change...I'm seeing a kinesiologist (basically a chiropractor that works with muscles). I'm wondering if seeing him is changing my shape? I know my posture's getting better. I've had quite a few people in the last week ask me about my weightloss. My dramatic loss all stopped early last month (and I've seen them all since then). I'm not complaining or anything, just an odd coincidence. :)
I'll now be updating as I work on exercise and toning. If I get through the summer and still haven't reached goal (which as more to do with BMI than actual weight), I plan to go back on SFL. :)

Missing box!
I've somehow misplaced the box containing my skinny tops. I put on a new pair of capris tonight that MIL gave me. Kind of bittersweet. They're really cute, but already too big. Who knew?
I really need to get orgainzed and dejunk.
As it is, at this very moment, almost midnight, I'm playing muffin catch up. I went in for a fasting lab this morning that turned out to be a misunderstanding with the doc as to when I was supposed to go in. I ofcourse had no appetite at that point and popped on over the the grocery store. When I finally did eat, it was about noon. BAD! Definately not good for the metabolism. I only went from bad to worse though. DD had a school thing tonight and I had a hair appointment right before it. I didn't end up eating dinner until after 9. I had planned to munch a muffin and sip on Crystal Light during, but there were signs up prohibiting food/drink. So much for that idea.
Tomorrow's a new day. :)

3 more down!
I'm at a total of 43.8 now. I'm feeling really crappy though. I think I nailed it down to the cause though- magnesium. I started it the day after I went full strength on the metformin. Tomorrow morning, I'm skipping the magnesium.

Getting out the skinny clothes!
I was a little shocked this morning. Out of curiousity, I pulled out a couple pairs of my "skinny" pants. Oh, MY. They fit. The jeans I wore on my 30th birthday (when I had lost a lot of weight) not only fit, but are a little on the baggy side. And again, there was much rejoicing. :D

Do the happy dance with me!
I lost track of what week I'm on, but I lost 5.8 pounds this week! That makes a total of 40.
