158

A bit of an update: I have lost 2 more pounds (currently 158 lb., total weight loss=26 lb.!) and another half-inch off my waist since I reached my goal weight on July 4! I'm still exercising but not doing anything extra, so I don't know how. I joked with George that I'd never let him pick me up before but now he'd be able to do it without breaking his back. So he lifted me up and ran around the house with me, and I was laughing and yelling and so very happy. I feel great! :) I've even had to exchange three pairs of size-12 American Eagle pants I just bought a couple weeks ago for size 10's, so I guess that size-10 Gap skirt was not a fluke after all. I have spent quite a bit of money on new clothes the past few months, but it's better than looking ridiculous in saggy pants I have to pull up every 5 seconds. George doesn't complain; he is proud of me and he sees how hard I've worked--and am still working--every day to keep off that weight.

(Just don't tell him about the new pair of shoes. I don't think he'd believe me if I said my feet were smaller, too. ;)
