Lauras snapshot of Mom's progress... March!

Laura took this photo of me this morning in the bathroom. It is as good as any to update you on my progress so far. I began as you recall, in mid-January to improve my out of control ways. I have found much joy and rejoicing so far, gaining control of myself once again. I began this year around 170 lbs. (not my heaviest, but not good nonetheless) and at my age of 33 and height of 5'5" I was a dangerous 30-40 lbs. overweight even then. My cholesterol was high and my appetite was out of control and I felt in every way out of control along with it. I have seen a huge difference in my energy level and I have felt as a welcomed side effect more spiritually in-tune with my Faith. It is good to feel peace, the real kind. I have made progress and recently bought a size 10 jeans (in the photo) I first could fit into a ten last month and now actually fit into it. I have not been truly that size for a long while, it feels good to have made some more progress. I now weigh 148 and my goal is 130-135. My healthy weight range is 120-140 and I feel that my goal is realistic. Anyways, thank you all for this blog for your help and for your inspiration! I love you all dearly!
You go girls!
