Off to L.A.

I'm leaving for LA tomorrow afternoon to go help my brother and sister in law take care of mom after her fall and surgery of a shoulder replacement. Were all in aw that her fall caused that kind of damage to her body. The ball in her shoulder was totally shattered. The socket where the ball goes into the shoulder was cracked and the rotator cuff was tore too from my understanding. Needless to say she needs all of us to pull together and take care of her for a bit. I can't wait to see her and be by her side and help my family. I get to see my brother and sister in law while I'm there and that will be so nice to visit and see them while Carolyn is resting and healing.

On my weight loss... I'm down to 194.0. That is 100 pounds since Dec. of 2006! 191 pounds will be 100 pounds since surgery. My goal for myself is 169. Being 5'7 and never weighing anything but fat I thought that was a good goal for myself. I am 25 pounds from that goal and anything past that I will be thrilled. I'm still unsure some days if I will ever reach that goal, but I have to believe I will. I don't think this next 25 pounds will be easy. I know my body is going to make me work for these last few pounds. My weight loss has slowed down. I just have to keep picking good foods to fill me. I will try to blog while I'm gone, so check back on me...

Hi Susy,
You have done great and 100 lb is nothing to sneeze over. I had found that the last few 20 or so lbs was going to be hard, but lately I've taken off more than that, I'm sure it's more stress related but yes good foods, more protein, more exercise, switchit up, that's what worked for me!! You are doing great.
