Thursday

The weather the past few days has be GORGEOUS , temps in the mid to high 60's and sunny.
 That all came to an abrupt halt this evening. The temps drooped into the 40"s and rain and wind :(  
Oh well I  enjoyed the really nice weather while we had it .

  Is it to early to start counting the day until spring ?? ,lol

Todays weight 179.0
 I am down 77 pounds from my top weight top   of 256. I am grinning  : )  .

My (former) dietitian and (former) trainer  both suggested that I go no lower than 167. I am 5'6" and very muscular ( for a girl  :) )   My personal goal is 155 -159.  But truthfully that is my vanity talking because that is what I weighted  in high school ,, a million years ago ,lol

My trainer and dietitian are both "former " because I can not afford them . . It was money well spent but not an expense I can afford on a regular basis.
Former dietitian was the one who suggested the exchanges plan. The exchanges are the same that a diabetic would use.  Different than weight watchers and different than counting every calorie. I feel more in control when using the exchanges,, not sure why but it is what it is  :)
