139.1

So Norlita had this great plan thanksgiving of 2009. Norlita equals Mom.  Our relatives from Laredo were visiting.  Denise, the eldest of Ate' Ena's children is graduating from highschool in May of 2010.  Mom loves to inform us of how "FAT" we are.   That is just who she is.  So after dinner one evening she said "Whoever can lose the most weight by Denise's graduation will get $500.00!"  $500.00 you say!!! Did i hear that right!  Well heck ya! I AM IN!  We all weighed in.

When i got married i weighed 112 1bs.  When i started at MD Anderson i weighed about 115-120. Thanksgiving of 2009 i weighed ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS.

My plan:

1. Enrolled at LA Fitness.   First week of January Mike and I were at the gym.  It was grueling. grueling. gruuuuuueling. 
2. Over some tamales, kolaches, and christmas cookies some coworkers and i decided to do the biggest loser in our work place.  We started January 11 and our Finale is April 12, 2010.
3.  Train for my first half marathon.  San Antonio has one in November.  Let's hope for that.

I have lost some weight, and it is not easy once your 30 to lose the weight.  I don't plan to make myself miserable by dieting.  I just want to Be healthy, feel good, and stay healthy.  It's been 3 months since mom's challenge and i'm down 10lbs and i can see it and it FEELS GOOD!

so here i am at 139.1. I am damn proud of myself.  it makes me feel great.
