184.8

It's official.  I haven't been this small since before I got pregnant with my second daughter.  And since she's going to be 20 next week, I can't blame it on her anymore.  Made it through Thanksgiving with a loss!  We are almost done with Christmas shopping and the girls are back in their respective dorms/apartments. Whew!  I now have my house back, and need to start kicking it in gear for the Christmas season.  Since we're going to visit Mom for Christmas, we aren't getting a real tree :( this year, but I got a "cute" artificial one.  It's white, b/c hubby wouldn't let me get the pink one!  AKA Lucy in Charlie Brown's Christmas!

I'm getting the second of three shots in my knee, so hopefully, I will be pain free for a little while.  Yeah, this getting old thing sucks.  OTOH you would think that losing 65+ pounds would help my knees.  Not.  So, I get to endure 3 shots over as many weeks to get an artificial joint lubricant shot into my knees.  Yeah, fun.  First one wasn't too bad, and #2 daughter came with me, in case I couldn't drive home.  Oh well.

I can't believe that Christmas is only 4 weeks away.  Where did this year get too?  It's been successful as far as my weight loss journey has gone.  And with Hubby along for the ride, it's really helping.  He's down 75+ pounds, so we both are doing well.  At this time next year, we both hope to be WW lifetime members, and celebrating staying at goal.  We shall see. . .

187.2

Yeah, it seems that I have been bragging a lot lately.  I'm on a role, and I haven't been this "low" since before I got pregnant with #2.  And considering that she's going to be 20 in a few weeks, it's about time, dontcha think?  This past weigh in was a 2.8 pound loss for the week.  The total is 62.8 lb.  Yeah, it's taken me about 15 months, but I'm not giving up.  Since Hubby is on this journey with me, it's been a lot easier than just about every time I've tried before.  He's not giving up, so I'm not giving up. Granted, when I see my doctor in February, I may ask to see if I can get my "goal" raised a little above the WW suggested goal weight.  Not much, but 10 or 15 pounds higher.  So, I'm getting there, but I think I've really changed a few really bad habits, and as long as I can keep the good habits, then I will be able to keep it off this time.  Yippee!!!
