Ok folks,

I know it's been some time since I've added any milestones here.

I'm now down to 180 pounds from 250! I can't believe I cracked the 200 pound mark!!! I feel awesome & can actually look at myself in the mirror now (big news).

I refuse to buy new clothes, underwear & swimsuits just yet. I have to wait until they're just about falling off & I can burn them all! I also plan on going to the beach more often w/the girls this summer (yes, I'll buy a new swimsuit then).

I've cut myself back down to only 2 jobs. Yeah!

Matt & I are taking the girls in August to spend "A Day with Thomas the Tank" in Connecticut & the following day at Mystic Seaport (I've never been).

I still need to nap for an hour or two mid-day, but I truly think it's because of my nutty schedule.

We have a new addition to our family: A 3 yr old African Spur Thigh tortoise named Sizzle, who just turned 3 June 1st! The family loves him. He/she's only the size of your hand right now & I failed to mention to my mother that cute, adorable Sizzle will grow to the size of her coffee table & weigh 200 pounds when fully grown & will live up to 80 yrs old like our parrot (minor details).

I've managed to get down the inside of a burrito from Taco Bell yesterday. How exciting!

I find it a little odd that when I try to eat healthy foods, sometimes they don't agree. When I do sneak a sun chip or two in & I wait for the internal explosion to errupt, all is fine. Hmmmmmm......you'd think it would be the other way around.

3 weeks ago Johanna entered her first horse show of the year & placed first in both of her classes! her instructor said it was the best she's ever ridden! She came home w/2 blue ribbons, a gold medal & stuffed pony!
My girls have their ballet recital this weekend. Johann's 2nd & Alli's 1st. I think I'm more excited than they are!

Anyway, that's basically it for now. I will contribute more as it comes.

Cheers!
Anita

Hey girl,

I thought you said 60 pounds the last time we talked, but hey, who am I to question!?

Congratulations, Anita! I can't wait to see you!

To date I have lost 96 pounds. I'm counting the 7 pounds I lost before surgery now. I think I should have credit for losing that too! HA! HA!

I've had to buy new underwear, bras, clothes and a bathing suit (I'm still working on it....the one I just bought isn't quite right). I tried on my old bathing suit the other night and it was FUNNY! It was baggy in the chest and on the sides under my arms and it was baggy in the legs and butt! Hilarious!

I mean, I've gone from a 30/32 pants to 18/20! I am so THRILLED!

I also don't post as much here as I thought I would, but good news and milestones are so wonderful to share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you, Anita! Wonderful to hear about Johanna's wins!!!!!! Good for her!

Talk to you soon, sweetie!
Hugs and love,
Cathy
