My Weight Loss Journey: 6 Months...that's half of a year people!!!

Last week I celebrated my 6th month on the HMR program with a 2.2 lb loss. This was a very satisfying loss as the past few weeks have been fairly light losses that could have been gains had I not stopped off at the bathroom before jumping on the scale! :) While I am still suffering from "fat brain" (e.i. where you don't see the physical changes that are happening and you still see yourself as fat), more than 1 person yesterday said that they didn't even recognize me! It's strange to hear comments like that, but nice at the same time. I'm hoping someday soon my brain catches up with my body so I can really see the change in my body.

In the last week, Jay and I made the trip down to Arizona to see his parents who are renting a home in Surprise. The weekend was full of sun, fun, and lots of wedding talk! One of my favorite things, was a lemon tree that they had growing in their back yard. I am trying to figure out a way to grow one in our house, as I don't think that tree could handle the midwest weather!

Another activity we took part in was the NASCAR Fresh Fit 600!!! I couldn't believe how fun it was to embrace my white trash roots! After seeing some of the patrons, I will say that we were on the classy end of the white trash spectrum. All I can say is WOW! I wanted to take some covert pics but didn't know what would happen if they caught me...and I have a strong fear of toothless strangers rubbing their B.O. and hair grease on me so I chose to save my photography for the grand stands!
