goodbye 200's

this post was a bit delayed by sadness and the craziness of getting ready to journey with monkeyface across the border to the north BUT......

I WEIGH LESS THAN 200 POUNDS!!!!!!!!

that's right. I stepped on the scale before leaving Boise and it read 199.6!!!! Granted it's not a lot under but there was no 2 in the beginning of my weight anymore. I crossed over that number during pregnancy, oh about 3 years ago. :( I know, I know... 3 years!! my son's entire life...It floors me to think that I was that heavy for 3 years...

now that my waist band is shrinking i find myself wondering why it took me so long to do something about this number. I find myself slightly embarrassed when telling people that I was over 200 for so long. It amazes me that I was so complacent. The thought passes quickly though as I am EXTREMELY ecstatic to be under and would like to shout it from the roof top. I guess that putting it out on the internet is today's equivalent. It's possible that with the stress and vacation mindset, when I journey back home and get on the scale it might go over that number again. But I got a glimpse of that number and that was more motivation that anything thus far. I will keep working until I am well under that number. I ain't never going back!
