50 feels FABULOUS!!

What a most fabulous way to start off the month of September!  Football season is here (Roll Tide and Go Noles), the weather is beautiful,  school is in full swing and I may just want to mention that I have officially lost 50 pounds!!!  50 50 50 50 50!!  Fitty!!  Five-0!!  I cannot say it enough.  My goal weight loss is 100 pounds so I have reached my midway point in exactly 3 months (tomorrow is the 3 month date). 

Holy bologna I have lost 50 pounds.  Never in my entire weight loss history have I lost more than 30 pounds.  No matter how hard I worked, I never made it past the 30 mark.  I had my eye on 50 because it made it more real to me.  Not that the whole experience hasn't been real but if you have worked as hard as I have over the past 20 years to lose weight just to quickly plateau or not ever reach successes, you would be a bit skeptical too. 

Initially, I saw the 50 pound goal to be sooooo far away.  I thought I would problebly lose it in a few months.  Again,  I knew I was working hard but didn't expect the big results so quickly.  This is an exciting day. 

Being back at work has made a huge difference.  The inches are literally melting off now that I am up and moving all day. My body is totally changing.  I can see it in the mirror. My face, my thighs, my......everything is totally morphing into the new me.  The cellulite is on a much smaller map!  ha ha

 This is fabulous.....yes.  However, the clothing situation has become a bit frustrating.  My clothes are now falling off of me.  The clothes are getting to a point where they are not flattering to wear at all, somewhat unprofessional looking, and make me look bigger because they swallow me.  It is more frustrating than you would think.  Will post more about that in my next post!  It is too tragic to not discuss.....ha ha! I promised pics when I hit 50 so I will work on getting some side by side shots done this weekend!

Cheers to my big 50 and.......Roll Tide/Go Noles!!
