keep it up, whydoncha.


guess who lost 20 lbs?? 

that's right. me!


(cyber five!)


after some killer advice, some great emails from old friends (c.k.), and some loving support all around, this time felt different. I felt armed with information and determination. and so far, so good! the boring details of my, dare I say, success lie simply in diet (countin' calories) and exercise (running and yoga). oh, and avoiding wheat at most of my meals and snacks (amazing advice, a.h.) so thank you, thank you friends. your input has made all the difference.


the real joy of losing 20 lbs (22.5 lbs, if we are getting technical) is that it means it is possible! I have lost ten pounds repeatedly, and so I couldn't get excited until I lost well past that ten pound mark. It also means I am half way to my goal. I still feel the momentum, so I am hopeful I can lose the next 20 lbs. (knock on wood. or at least the ikea wood-like substance that is our end table) I am, after all, playing for keeps here. 




*is it just me, or is this photo of me slightly gangrene looking? it looked good in iphoto... but it uploaded slightly strange looking
