My first post on my new blog

I have never had a blog before and I am still trying to get it right, so bear with me.
I just wanted a place to put my thoughts and now I have one. LOL
Anyway, down to WW business. I am having a great week so far. I have been saving my xtra 35 wpa for the weekend. I am attending a benefit tomorrow for a teacher from my high school. He died recently in Iraq. There will be normal cookout food...donated by a local wholesaler. So I have to watch because it's the normal hamburger and hotdog thing. Alot of relatives will be there that haven't seen me in about 3 years. They don't know I have lost all this weight. A total of 82 lbs.
I still have a ways to go to get to goal, but the mailman says I am wasting away to nothing. He has been our mailman now for 13 years and has seen my ups and downs. The neighbors all can't believe that I am doing so well on WW. I always tell them that the trick is that it's not a diet. I have made a complete lifestyle change and with that the weight loss is natural.
I have been going to curves (although not as regularly as I would like) and I love it. I love getting to use all the different machines that I wouldn't have in my home and having alot of workout buddies. Everyone is so nice and it's the first time I find myself wanting to go and feeling guilty when I can't.
When all is said and done, I love this adventure I have begun and everything about my life is better. I feel better, the doc has decreased my blood pressure meds and my cholesterol has went down significantly. I look healthier and I can shop in the "non-plus" stores. My BMI went from 38 to 27 and I can play with my 10 yr old without getting out of breath. So I say, "Yeah Me!!!"
