Yes. It finally happened. Steve and I broke up. Last visit to physical therapy he said he thought I was good and didn’t need to come back. Well ok, I knew that, I just wanted something to force me to keep exercising.
When I started pt at the end of March I was in pretty bad shape. My back was extremely unstable, I was fat and hadn’t exercised since my foot surgery.
After looking at myself in the mirrors at physical therapy I decided I needed to seriously cut calories and lose weight. I started a self imposed 1000 calories a day diet. Today at my morning weigh in I am officially down 37 pounds. YES! Thirty seven! It has been really tough to keep this up, but now the hard part begins. How do I keep the weight off and motivate myself to continue all the exercising?
I do love all of my new muscle. I would never have believed that I could have developed the muscles I have without going to a gym. The other day when I was marveling at my leg and gluteal tone, I told Emerson to feel my muscles and he refused, saying, "I am not touching your butt." Whatever. Maybe Curt will.
Not all is well with losing a large amount of weight at my age. Some things look better, but other things look worse. Face and neck - worse. Legs, butt and arms - better. Still have a fat middle.

I want to know how you got the cool backgrounds for your blog - I didn't see any pretty choices for my work blog. Maybe when you get some time you can clue me in.
I obvious don't know how this works - I'm not anonymous - I'm Charlotte. Anyway, I don't remember you asking me to touch your butt. Thank you.
Way to go, I think that is awesome! It is not easy loosing weight, and your right I think the hard part is keeping it off and staying motivated.
Can't wait to see you and your skinny self at lunch soon.
I guess Cheesecake Factory is out.
