Okay..I looked and the last time I was this weight was over 5 years ago.....December 2003. It's signficant because my niece was born then. I remember feeling so fat when she was born and thinking I didn't want Lucy to ever remember me as her fat aunt. She's 5 now and starting to form memories that she will remember so I better get cracking. Even if she doesn't remember her fat aunt there are plenty of pictures out there for her to see.

For some reason I couldn't get this very big but you can click on it and see the details. You can also create you own at http://www.wordle.net/

!!!~~~209~~~!!!

I'm out of the 2-teens. My appetite is not back yet so I'm trying to ride it out. I'm so auxious to be out of the 200's. I need to go back through old journals and see how long it's been. I bought a size 16 Levi on vacation because I forgot to pack long pants. They fit snuggly. And actually made me feel quite hot!! Well, having a guy admire me and whisper sweet nothings in my ear helped too. Anyway, yesterday I put those same jean on, straight out of the dryer, and they were baggy. Of course, I just fnished my period so maybe I was bloated over vacay. I didn't feel bloated though. Think I'll put them back in the dryer and try to shrink them up because I really don't think I'm ready for the 14's. I collected a big box of clothes out of my closet that were all to big. Now, I need to go through my old containers and see if there is anything that I can wear. I'm just so lovng this.

Sorry, it's been so long. Work has just been crazy. Then as it was slowing down , it was time to go on vacaton. I think it finally caught up with me. I'm sick. But more of that later.

Well, I just got back from vacation. Went to Bristol, TN for the NASCAR race. It was great. Felt like I didn't have a care in the world for 5 days. Got lots of walking in but probably not as much as previous years. My aunt is my walking buddy on vacation and she was having serious knee problems before we left. We only got one 1 mile walk in for exercise. And we avoided the walk up and down the mountain on the way back from the track by taking the shuttle. But we did lots of walking while shopping and walking around the track. I'm convinced there isn't a flat surface in TN

I even got acquainted with a hotty that I've had my eye on for a couple years. We stay in a campgrounds and have had the same neighbors for years. FUN!! Too bad Tim lives in New York...near Niagra Falls. I think I could easly fall in love.



Anyway, I came back and promptly got sick Monday night with chills and diarreha. Then came the head and chest cold. I haven't went back to work yet. But will have to go in tomorrow or I need a doctor's excuse.

I'm pumped to get out there and RUN! But I need my head to feel like it's not going to explode. I'm at my lowest weight today and I hope I can maintain it when I get well.
