94 Lbs down...6 more to go...changed goal to see Onderland for a hot second!
According to the chart, with a 27 BMI....I could weigh 155 and still be considered healthy.
I can see that on these hips and thighs.
Its gonna require some work to get there.
But the way Im feeling these days...Im worth the work.....
Im'ma dream big and see what the honeymoon challenge does for me
In life, and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up. 
I slipped up yesterday but I'm back on it!

Girly, Im starting to dream about how I will look minus all this chunk.
Dont feel bad...... I slipped up too....my daughter ordered some Papa Johns over the weekend, and I polished off the last 2 cheese slices. 420 calories in one bang. Dayum
But Im at the gym tonight making them suckers disappear.......
I also looked into an African dance class here in the city and will be attending first time this week. Hopefully !
Bring on labor day

where is this African dance class that you're thinking about. I've been thinking about going to the Mark Morrison dance school where they give dance classes for the general public downtown Bk. It used to be $9 per session now it's $12. shesh.
I took it a few times about 5 years ago and if shedding lbs is what you're after, African dance will definitely do it for you. You'll be soaking wet when you finish (that didn't sound right). You'll get your sweat on lol
Honeymoon Challenge!
Girly I didnt know you were in NY....the classes are in the city on 14th street near 6th avenue. Its at some dance studio and they cost $15 per week. They offer all types of classes...hip hop is one Im considering as well. I would love for my daughter to go with me....but that girl is so independent and working til I dont see as much of her as I used to.
I figured $15 is not too much to payu if its gonna get me where I want to be. Im gonna email you the details so you can decide if you want to go as well.
I know everything has gone up in the last few years. Soaking wet sounds good to me.
Lets stay in touch !
