Wow… 26 weeks! That's half the damn year! Wow to us, right?!
Anyway…. I LOST WEIGHT
A bit shocking given that it's been a whirlwind of a month! I went to a workshop where they fed us ham and enchiladas (not to mention the AMAAAAAZING gravy
Nate even suggested I ditch the healthy train and join the gravy train, HAHAHAHA! ). I tell you, when you put yummy food in front of me, I have ZERO discipline! Then flew out to Pittsburgh for an amazing wedding (cannot WAIT to show you those images!) THENNNN Mike went to Florida for a week to left me fend for myself…. to those of you who know me, you know that Mike spoils me… and I don't do so well on my own
(Please know that these are not excuses… I'm just filling you all in on my month
)
Soooo, how much weight did I lose?! Are you on the edge of your seat????
I lost FOUR POUNDS! Total weight loss: 19.8 pounds
YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHHHH!!!!!!! WOW… nearly 20 pounds?! WOWWWW!!!!!! That's a lot of poundage
I'm about 14 pounds away from my wedding weight
About three weeks ago, after being SO discouraged… I had my resting metabolism rate measured. Given my height, weight and age… they guessed it to be around 1560. The results? 1130. WOW!!!!!! Scary low. THEN I got even MORE discouraged and almost gave up… had a few bad days in there to prove it
I've since been trying to alter my diet to fix that. I'll keep you all in the loop with all of that stuff….
UPDATED MEASUREMENTS!!!!
Since week one (October 4) of the Healthy Train:
Weight: -19.8lbs
Arms: -2"
Chest: -2.5"
Waist: -4.5"
Hips: -2.75"
Thighs: -4"

I like this once a month thing MUCH better than every Friday, don't you?!
Now to my favorite part of the healthy train
BEFORE AND AFTERS!!!!!!
First one taken 10.14.08… the second one taken 20 minutes ago.

Edited to add: I just noticed there are more shadows in the newest photo…. which aren't doing me any favors…. I should retake it
Yeah, I'm hardcore!!!!
Here's the thing I find most shocking…. Uhhh…. WOW! (I'm feeling all America's Top Model with the "100% crop") Now, I'm still quite chubby cheeked… but I always will be
Also, it's a bit deceiving because my hair is in my face in the newest photo, but whateva… you get the idea!!!!!

So, there you have it
My updates. Pretty cool, huh!? For this next weigh in… let's do it Celebrity Fit Club style and get a goal.
