Going in the right direction

193.2, which is the lowest I've been since I had my kids!  My "babies" are 23 and almost 20, so that is no excuse anymore.  It has really helped that Hubby decided to go on this journey with me, since I'm staying on course, because he's staying on course.  If you've ever had a buttload of weight to lose, you will understand! :)

Today is Columbus Day, which means no school.  So, I'm doing laundry and trying to get some more of the "fat clothes" bundled up to donate.  Hubby asked me to wait to go to the gym, so he can go with me.  While that's fine, I'm used to going in the morning (when I'm not working), so we'll see how this change in schedule effects me.  It rained most of last week, so my knees haven't wanted to work right, and they really hurt.  Now, it's sunny, but cold, so I'm going to have to get used to the change in weather.

On the bright side, I can now go into Old Navy and buy their clothes!  I am in "normal" sizes, for the first time in at least 5 years.  Yes, I am donating ALL of my "fat" clothes.  I don't ever want to go there again.  I've changed my eating habits, for real this time.  I know, I could get into bad habits again, quickly, but hopefully, Hubby will keep me honest, and we'll be fighting this battle together for the rest of our lives.

Now, I have to try to find airfare to Florida for Christmas that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!  It will probably still cost an arm, but that's better than both!  I don't want my mom to be alone for Christmas, and she doesn't want to spend a month at my sister's!  So, this will give her an excuse to come home.  It will be different for us, but not too bad.  Hopefully, we won't have to deal with a major snowstorm for either direction.

So, I'm actually starting to like myself.  I'm not all the way there, but it's coming, slowly.  Now to search the airfares!!
