A Moment Today That I Am Still Shake Over

So I made it to the goal of 170 back in december. Which put me at a 25.8 bmi. I flirted with resetting my goal since 164 supposedly puts me at below 25, then thought maybe 160 that way I have 4 lbs room between me and overweight.

I have been half heartedly trying. I mean I run 3 days a week 3 miles 2 days then 4-6 on saturday (I ran 10 today :) my eating has been ok but not hypervigilent like I have allowed myself a bit of bread or tortillia here and there. so I have gotten down to 166 and then back to 170 back and forth.

so today I thought, I have been eating better and maybe i'm actually back to 166, hoping to see 165 on the scale and thus being one more lb toward normal weight range.

Standing on the scale waiting for the digital numbers to appear I prepared myself to see 168 or 169 and hoped for 166 and dreamed for 165. There on the scale appeared 162!!!!! 162!!!!! wait let me just say 162!!!!!!

*huge crazy grin* Rocky theme blasting in my head as imaginary streamers fall from the ceiling.

2 lbs below the normal range threshold!!!!! honestly I can't say anything else because I am having a very hard time even discribing how I am feeling just yet.

That is 149lbs lost from my heaviest. 111lbs since surgery may 10th of last year; 8 months and 4 days 8 lbs below a goal I picked out of the air, thinking there was no way i'd ever reach it, and 2 lbs below overweight range. 33rd precentile for my height that mean 67 percent of people my height are heavier than me!

thank you that is all
