Doin’ the Funky Chicken…
by Kym on April 25, 2007
…or some other similar happy dance.
I hit my pre-pregnancy weight today! I’ve got my weight loss blog to track such successes, but that wasn’t a big enough bragging forum for me. I mean, I’m thinking about taking out ads in the local paper, and maybe driving around town shouting it out the window.
I don’t know how long the feeling will last, because sadly such things are fleeting, but right now I feel like I can do anything.
What am I going to do with this newfound energy? What new heights am I going to soar to?
I’m going to get caught up on the laundry. Perhaps that’s a wee bit anti-climatic, but only if you haven’t seen my laundry room.

Deanne – Two loads down!
Chris – Feels good and looks great! You look so awesome in your new pic!
Lucy – I’m a goin’. I even put on my pedometer today!
Elizabeth – Premarriage? Ouch! I don’t even dream about that anymore, I was teeny-weeny back then. I’d have to lose fifty pounds to get there. I’m going to be content with thirty. =)
Laine & Thea – Thanks so much!
Angie – I put on as much weight before kids as I did after, so I’ve still got quite a ways to go. Hitting milestones makes it seem so much more attainable, doesn’t it? That’s why I keep my milestones close together, not as discouraging. At 180 I get an MP3 player. Only 7 pounds to go!

That is such exciting news. I wish I could say the same and it’s been 2 years for me almost.

I’m so excited for you! Are you a Weight watcher girl too?

Shay – That’s how I got started, and it was a huuuge help. But I couldn’t keep at it for life, you know? Now I just keep healthy foods in my house at all times, so I don’t have to bother counting. WW definitely gave me the nutritional education I needed though (that and reading about a dozen different books on the subject!). =)
