No - I haven't gained any weight back.
Yes - I'm still exercising daily (abs, yoga, walking, floor work...)
No - I'm not trying to lose huge quantities of weight any longer.
Yes - I do eat (trust me on that - I eat plenty).
No - I do not barf it back up.
Yes - I did this on my own with inspiration & major support of my good friend (and task master) KC
No - I did not have a personal trainer nor did I go to a weight loss camp or appear on the Biggest Loser
Yes - I have made my goals.
No - I am not finished - I hope to always have goals and be striving to reach them.
NEW GOAL: Actually make 4.5 days on the Master Cleanse (I'm currently on Day 02 and it's not a walk in the park).
I haven't posted in some time but wanted to put up some Before & After pix (finally). I have gotten many e-mails from people who wanted to see the results and at long last here they are.
The top left picture is July 2001 (around 212 lbs)
The bottom left picture is April 2009 (around 180 lbs)
The pictures on the right were taken last month (around 142 lbs). I'm about 5lbs thinner than that right now.
I have worked very hard, have seen the results and damn it I am shaking my booty!
I'm heading to Kripalu (again) next week for a 4 day relax & renewal yoga retreat and to think about what I REALLY want to give thanks about this Thanksgiving. So instead of turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatos and pies I'll be enjoying a Buddha Bowl full of some wholesome foods like THESE and offer up a prayer that I somehow managed to learn that it's NEVER too late to start over...Whoever said it's all downhill after 40 was wrong.
Peace out and be good to yourself. You're really all you've got.
