Alright Gemme, you convinced me...Back to Zumba. I love it, I don't know why I stopped going. I pretty much do that at home along with many other exercises my trainer has given me, but going to the class was a lot of fun. Though, I think I will try the one at Curves instead of my regular gym full of what I refer to as "lemmings"...

I have never posted in here, but I think it is about time. Since last May, I have lost 72 pounds, and have only gained and lost the 2-4 pounds of water weight that likes to annoy me with its coming and going.

Those of you that know me, know that I was very sick for a number of years, and gained quite a bit of weight. I won't go into details, but it was after a major gastric surgery to improve my digestion, that I was able to get up and be active again. It was not a weight loss surgery.

I currently have a trainer, but only for accountability, focus and technique help. He drives me, and I like limping out of there every week moaning about what a good job he does.

I am proud of myself, and what I have accomplished, and continue to accomplish. I still have weight to lose, and while it will make me feel better aesthetically, the majority of the drive I have to continue working hard, is for my health, which has improved dramatically.

I have many days where I am not successful with making myself get up and do my exercises, but less days where I have trouble making the right food decisions. There are times, not many, that I do indulge in foods that are not healthy for me, but I am able to get right back on track the next day. Not working out is the most self-sabotaging thing that I do. Sometimes I wish I had a support network like WW.

Most of the attempted food sabotage that happens in my life, comes from people I work with, who have zero understanding of my nutritional needs, and zero desire to understand.

I think all of you are wonderful, and should be proud of yourselves every day for all of the things you do to stay/get healthy. End rambling...
