^old log
cool old song>
I feel like I’ve only just begun!
It took about 6 months for the last log to reach capacity…In the next 6 months my hubby will have left for training and will be serving in Afghanistan until May 2011…
Hopefully there won’t be much blood, but I know for certain there will be lots of sweat and tears on my end. Life goes on, and I gotta keep chasing my goals to keep me sane.
To give a brief history:
It was this time last year that I officially became mad enough at my weight to really dig deep and do something about it…
I’ve lost 60+ pounds(so far), and it’s my mission in life to never ever go back…I’ve always been active and I didn’t gain weight just by lazing around shoving junk down my throat(well, maybe with my last pregnancy…I was on bed rest and it was the middle of winter in Maine…what else was there to do? 
I’ve gained weight through the years because of bad choices…when I got out of bootcamp about 12 years ago, I was completly on my own for the first time…a hunny bun and a dr pepper is healthy because it’s small in portion size, right? That’s the way I thought about food before I knew what healthy eating was…I’d skip breakfast, have crap for lunch,and go out to eat almost every night…forget about exercise!! I only did it when we had to as a command…and I wondered why I had gained 30lbs within a year!!
I’d work hard while the hubby was away on deployments etc just to gain all the weight back when he returned…took me awhile to notice the pattern…But I’m breaking that pattern!!
…my goal is to continue to lean down with my existing eating habits and walking+intervals a couple times a week, while getting stronger…

Looking forward to continuing to follow your progress over here Betty.
Your progress so far has been really impressive and inspiring! Love those quads!
Love that song too. My music teacher in 8th grade was cool, so I got to learn that song on the clarinet.
Hi Betty! Just following you over here.
Hi Betty! So excited to follow you on your journey. Huzzah! (that’s what Navy peeps say, no?)
Hello…sheesh that other log filled up quick…Look at what you have achieved in the last 6 months !!!
slinks off again as typing with one hand very slow
no Masch- it’s Hoorah! 
Hey Damo!
Thanks to all! it’s been a successful 6 months, but the next 6 and the next 6 after that will prove to be the toughest ever…but there is strength in numbers…as each day passes I will become stronger mentally and physically…(I hope! unless my kids drive me to the looney bin first!)
