Hi everybody. I'm still around. I post funnies every couple days so you don't think I've croaked.

Update: Both hubby and I are still healthy. He's begun wearing a mask to work (I made them) to protect us. I have a lot of lung scarring due to chronic bronchitis from childhood so I'm high risk for the lung "storm" that's claiming lives.

But, what I wanted to share was this...

I HIT MY PERSONAL PRE-SURGERY GOAL WEIGHT THIS MORNING!

Yay! Woohooooo and all that! So yes, I'm staying on track and motivated. Staying hopeful (not easy). And I had until April 18th to hit goal of 220 lbs, so I'm early.

I hit the required 5% early on but it's been real work to keep losing. My premenopausal body just does NOT want to let go of this weight!

Hope you're all well. Luvs yas!
 
This is such an accomplishment, over 2 weeks early. I really hope you can reflect on this and it will give you the boost of hope you need to find another way to fight for your health.
