So, I'm at my lowest weight since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer! I weighed in on Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised with 149.8!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!! I am officially in the 140s!!!!! That means I've lost OVER SIXTY POUNDS!!!!! HOLY HELL!!!!! It seems like WEEKS that I've been saying 'this week I'll get to the 140s' and DAMN - it feels good to finally BE there!!!! :)

| This is what 150 lbs looks like on me! |
I've been staying within my points every week, not having too many snack attacks (but I still have them!). I've found that if I stuff my face with fruit at about 3:30 I don't tend to snack as I'm cooking dinner. I'm satisfied..... It's a good feeling! Clementines are my friend.......
I started cooking at the Horse N Rebel in Starksboro. That is a challenge. I'm making yummy things like chocolate chip cookies, brownies, pulled pork sammies, bbq beef sammies, sweet 'n sour coleslaw, etc...... I'm chewing gum like a fiend when I cook, but I still found the time to eat a few cookies that I hadn't scheduled into my daily points balance. I have little self control when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. I also have found a GREAT way to eat pulled pork. Instead of on a kaiser roll I put it on top of salad with a few crumbles of blue cheese & a little balsamic vinaigrette glaze on top. YUMMY!!!! I'll be cooking there several days a week. Stop in and say hey (and of course grab a sammie!)
This Saturday is my ZUMBA instructor training class! I am SO excited to become an instructor! I'm really hoping that I can teach every morning!!!! I'd rather get my workouts done in the morning than at night. It's so hard to have to find a sitter for my kids while I go to the gym. I feel like I'm gypping them of their time with me. I only have them every other week, so I really try to spend as much time with them as I can! They're such awesome little dudes! They really are growing up so quickly! It's hard to remember how little they were when they were babies. I see babies and can't believe that mine were ever that small! :) I can't believe the hospital staff let me take them home with me!!!!! But, I digress.......
I have less than 15 lbs left to lose - 14.8 to be exact! I'm really hoping that my little plateau is just that.... LITTLE! If I can lose 1 - 2 lbs a week I'll get to my goal in no time! Currently I'm just doing Zumba, but I definitely see that I need to get my buns into the gym to lift weights a few times a week. I'm not trying to be a muscle head or anything, but my butt is FLABBY and I want to tone it up! I can't believe that *I* have a flabby butt!!!! I think I'll try setting my phone to beep every hour - and every hour I'll do 10 squats & 10 lunges on each side. If I can do 50 - 80 squats / lunges each day I'll firm that butt up in no time! :) Yeah - that will be my May resolution! :)
I'm off to bed - need my beauty sleep ya' know! :)
