Day 152--Weigh Day and yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, this IS an extremely short post

When I weighed last week, I found myself at 300 which was agony to be so close and yet so far to the 200's. Went in today and weighed and I lost 3 more pounds making it a total of 59 pounds lost and I now weigh 297!!!! I have not weighed below 300 since my last daughter was a baby, 9 years ago. This is truly a momentous event for me. I forgot to have them take my blood pressure I was so excited. (I weigh at the clinic around the street) All the nurses are so happy for me. And I am happy for me too!
Today is homecoming in my little town. We had the parade this afternoon with free hotdogs, pop and kettle corn. It was fun and I loved seeing my kids in it. Tonight is the game, of course, and everyone is going and for some reason I want to take a nap.
This is an incredibly short post but I have a zillion things to do and I couldn't wait another moment to share my news. Have a great day folks!
