Thankfulness

Since it is Thanksgiving this week, this seems appropriate:

I hit a major milestone this week... I am officially under my lowest weight as an adult, that I hit in 1995. 2 lbs to be exact. :)

I was with Weight Watchers at that time, I had lost 120 lbs. I got stuck at that weight.

Then I got complacent and started slowly gaining about 5 lbs a year for the next 10 years. I tried everything to get back to that place I was at in 1995. I yo-yoed up and down in those 10 years, but mostly up.

In the fall of 2005 I started on the path I am now. It's been hard, slow, but so rewarding and fun at the same time. Even more so than last time.

I do not plan on getting complacent again. That's why all of you are so important to me. My support system. I couldn't do it without you. I love you all.

So today I am thankful. I still want to lose about 17 more lbs. But the goal for now is to "diet" until end of January then start tri-training again. And where I am at the end of January is where I am. If it's 5 more, fine. If it's 0 more, fine. As long as there is maintaining or losing, I will be happy. After January, I will maintain through tri-season and give it another try (tri?) ;) if I need to.

This is my path now, and for this, I am so incredibly thankful.
