• Wow...what a crazy week it has been for me.

  I felt like dog do-do on Saturday and Sunday. Didn't even want to get out of bed! Then Monday went to school (after yet again sleeping in and feel like a train ran over me) but I still hit the gym and the trainers there killed me!

  Tuesday went to school and took a mid-term which I didn't fair too bad on (got an 85%). But the best part was I got to talk to Christi on the phone and tell her all about LA Weightloss (and yes we do need to talk more!) but the coolest part of Tuesday was that I went to the BX and walked into the junior section and found an outfit that was a size 9. I told myself that if it looked good on me I would buy the whole ensemble (you know shoes and earings to match). Well needless to say I walked out of there with the whole ensemble! It was so cute and my hubby really liked it on me. I had to wear it on Wed at school and everyone was telling me how cute it looked on me so that was real cool. People who I haven't see in a long time even told me that I was looking really good.  So thanks everyone for the boost on the self-esteem.

  Wed night trip to the gym was a total killer! My trainer, Aaron, really worked us out hard and I was soaking wet for a good hour afterwards!

  Then a weigh in yesterday at the station and guess who is in 1st place -

  ME!!!

  Needless to say I was totally shocked! I am waiting now to get the tv clip that shows my shock and awe and when I do I will post it. But for now...I wanted to post my "Thanks" video because I mention all my friends...so that includes you all as well!!! 

   

  
  

  
  

  So thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

  When I talked with my counselor from LA, she told me that she was going to get me submitted to the People campaign as well - even though they are looking for people who have lost over 100 pounds. She told me that I was the true success story because I knew how to apply what I have learned with their help. So we shall see. But you might see my face on the cover of People one day.

  Oh well...I guess I best get busy working on my homework since that is why I said I would work the lab today. Take care all!!!

  EDIT - Video

  Here is the news video that they showed this morning on the news. Ashlee (the girl being interviewed) is one of my workout buddies and she said such sweet things...

  For Christi...here is my before picture. This was taken at the end of June almost a month before I started my weight loss journey.
