i have a trainer at my gym. she is wonderfully fit and just makes me ill ... :eek:

i visit with her for a 1/2 hour every wednesday morning, today was no exception. she really worked me today - oh muh gawed ... she pushed me harder than she's ever pushed and i am already quite sore

i did get on the scale today and i am down another 2 pounds to 351.5. i have lost 51 pounds so far and just could not be much happier. my initial December 8th goal was a very aggressive 60 pounds. although i will not make that goal, i am very pleased with my changes so far. both weight-wise and attitude-wise. i know i've posted in previous entries how my mindset has completely transformed, but it really continues to amaze me that i am actually excited to go exercise and have taken a step class and i LOOK for classes at other gyms.. un freaking believable!! :omg:

my parents are coming to town in 2 days, i am getting nervous/excited. not sure if they will notice - if they notice will they say anything - if they say anything will they hound me every time they talk to me from now on "how much have you lost in the past 10 minutes??" ... **sigh**

ok ... gotta go.

WOW I need to borrow some of your excitment. I lost mine along the way but I am looking for it. Kari sounds like she is a great drill sgt. I'm sure she is just as proud to have you as a trainee. You are doing GREAT!!

Yes your parents will notice your weight loss because you are going to have all the energy and confidence. I know they will see it in your face and neck first.
