2 years, 6 months and 16 days later

Forgive the self indulgent post today (umm what blog isn't self indulgent?)  but today's blog is all about an accomplishment I achieved today.

2 years, 6 months and 16 days later

After MANY MANY starts & stops, injuries, parties, laziness, holidays and other obstacles

I am 

SHOUTING FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS

I HAVE LOST 65 POUNDS

SIXTY-FUCKING-FIVE POUNDS

(sorry about the language)

January 2009 to June 2011

I'm not done yet, but this was my main goal.

A 65 pound fish

I almost cried this morning when I stepped on the scale.  And it would have been a good cry, not a bad cry. 

When I started this journey, that mountain of 65lbs was scary, so I took it 10 pounds at a time and 1 meal at a time.   That's all I could do.  I couldn't focus on the mountain, I had to focus on 1 step at a time. And here I am.

I'm not done yet.  I want to lose at least another 10, if not 20.

But today is MY day because I am proud of me.
