My Dr. actually congratulated me at my yearly exam this morning.  Last year at this same time I was 10lbs heavier than I am now.  It feels good to get that kind of approval and recognition for hard work.  And lets all face it, this health/weight loss journey is quite daunting some days.  I am proud of myself.  I am proud that throughout the past year I have stayed the course (even through 2 career changes and personal loss). 

I cannot wait to see what the Dr's scale says next year. . .
