I've past the 40 lb lost mark and I'm now down 45 lbs! Very happy about this accomplishment. I feel great, more energy than ever before and I'm a lot more active than ever before as well.

I did have a bit of a slow down last month due to the nasty cold I caught. I didn't work out for a good 3 weeks. I felt awful during that time. I felt useless, plus I ate a little more than usual. i haven't fallen off the wagon with eating better foods for me though. I ate more of what I would normally eat. For example, I would get seconds of oatmeal or a little more salmon than normal. Still, those are added fat and calories I shouldn't be adding to my diet. I was sick, and for some reason it made me more hungry.

I'm pretty sure I'm due for another fill. Have had 2 so far, and I will be going back in this week for my 3rd. That should set my diet back on track.

I'm proud to say that since my cold/flu have gone away, I've gone back to working out. I've even upped it from 4 days a week to 5 days plus I walk on the weekends. I am also taking a Zumba class. If you don't know what it is, it's a cross between salsa and hip hop dancing. It's a lot of fun and it really makes you sweat! I reccommend for all to take this! You can go at any age or fitness level because you can move at your own pace.

That's the latest....

Congrats! 45 is great! -BG
