update

Well, I survived eating during the Venango Fair. I was so excited to try to eat Chinese. It was fine the first day, but the second day was bad. I spent some time over the garbage can. Oh, well. Now I just have to get through the Crawford Fair. I still crave tomatoes, and Italian dressing.
I feel good and am now in a size 14 jean. I did get a pair of 12's on and zipped, but not as comfortable as 14's. Into a regular XL shirt now, too. My new showmanship pants will need some major reductions and they were made the last week in July. Hope to loose another 10 pounds before school official starts on Sept. 2. My goal is to be below 200 before my 31st birthday!!!!

Sorry its been so long

Okay, people, I know it's been awhile! For all of you who've been asking for an update, and those of you who haven't-shame on you, here it is. I have now lost over 70 pounds and 25 inches from my body. Over 12 of the inches from my waist alone. I am now doing all my normal activities with no problems. I am averaging 5 pounds every week and a half. The only side effects I am having are hair thinning and not being able to hold down certain foods. The hair thinning is from not getting the 70 grams of protein a day...I'm lucky if I can eat 10 grams. But the doctors said it would stop and grow back. And of course its the good foods that I sometimes can't tolerate, like veggies and chicken. Rice, which was one of the don't eat foods, is great! Go figure.
I have been really busy in the barn and showing-that's my excuse for not updating the blog sooner. And no, I haven't been riding my bike yet either, still trying to work up the courage.
