I did get out for that 4 mles walk last weekend. Actually 4.3 mles! But nothing since. Excuses--working 10 hours a day, an ear infection and my sciatic nerve acting up again.

Work hasn't gotten any better. I swear I will leave early tomorrow. I desperately need to take better care of myself. The stress of work is catching up to my body (hence the ear infection and back pain) I've been eating very crappy. Basically, anything that will go down. A couple times for lunch I've taken two bites, gotten stuck and gave up.

I was down to 219 Saturday. Wednesday was my 9th month bandivesry! I've lost 32 pounds and here are my measurements:

• Waist, before 42.75 inches---now 39
• Hips, before 51.25 inches---now 48.25
• Bust, before 42.5 inches---now 39
• I can comfortable get into my stretch size 16 Levi's
• My work pants (khaki Levi Dockers size 16) are loose.

My results aren't stellar but I know I couldn't have done it by myself. I tried many, many times only to gain more. I probably would have gain 10 -20 pounds in the last 9 months....so looking at it that way...I've saved myself from 42-52 pounds. YEAH!!
