Hello, it's been a while since my last post.  Here is a picture of me on June 28, 2011 - my 50th birthday. Great time and can't believe I've hit the big 50!  I'm also about 11lbs lighter than this picture. 

I'm loving Weight Watchers. Mom and I are rocking it and working hard to stay on track. Last week I had a fun vacation and was careful but didn't miss out on treats. Had about 4 cokes and some movie popcorn as I attemped to see Magic Mike 3 times - 3rd time lucky!

On July 5th my girls - Jen & Sherrie and I hit Sandbanks beach for the day. It was so perfect for weather, company and great times. We swam, read, yapped and then hit a patio in Picton for a delicious dinner. I treated myself to 1/3 rack of ribs, baked potato with butter and a small ceasar salad oh, and a coke. On July 6th my weigh-in was a pleasant surprise, no weight gain, I stayed the same.

I'm back on track this week and really working out. Walking during lunch, climbing stairs 2-3 times each day, walking quite fast after work and using the Ultra Vibe machine for 10 minutes each day. 

Tonight at my WW meeting, my dear friend Sherrie Patterson decided to follow my advise from our talk at the Saturday Crop and she ended up joining Progress Fitness on a $99 special for the summer!  So, after our meeting I drove over and signed up for the same special and can now attend the gym and pool until September 11, 2012!  I am so pumped!  I also bought a WW pedometer to measure my points and distance.

I am really loving this program and feel "hooked" on working out again. I also notice that my blood sugar is going back to normal and a few blood pressure tests showed 106 / 64 with a resting heart rate of 73! Wow!!! It was 140 / 102 and a heart rate of 94 at one time.  I will go for blood work in late August and meet with my doctor to have my blood pressure checked along with the A1C1 test results. 

I feel so good, I am going to work at continuing this progress!
