I'm trying to get back to a "normal" life now. Sorry I've been away for a while. I'm trying to catch up on some posts and be a more active member.

I have hit a stall. I've been at the same weight (between 185-187 since Christmas). I've increased my exercise and water but still stuck.  However, I'm happy that I'm almost down 100 pounds. Yeah.

Last week I did 2 new things. Our county has a grant to offer free exercise classes. There are about 2-6 classes everyday throughout our county. I went to line dancing class on Friday and LOVED it. I don't think it was much of a work out, but still enjoyed it. I plan to do a "hip hop" class this week as well as water aerobics.

The other new thing...we took a mini vacation to Massanutten in Harrisonburg to go snow tubing. This was so much fun (but COLD). I could not have done that a year ago. I just love being this size so much. We also went to the indoor water park. The kids had to keep up with me at both. I just love this "new life".

Welcome back, sweetie!  You have been missed.  Sorry about the stall but this too you will overcome...up that protein, too!  Kudos to you for taking the exercise classes!  And tubing is sooooo much fun.  I missed out on it this year but hope to go next year and take Claire with us in two years.  Maybe we can make it a VA board event!

Penny!

Good to hear from you!  I have sort of been MIA, mostly posting on the OFF board.  I like this board though, because I get a chance to really meet the people once and a while!

You are doing great, and I'm sure this is just a temporary stall for you.
