Sisterhood of the Green Pants!

If you all have been with us since the beginning (May 9th, 2014) - you will remember that our goals were to be 200/160, look skinny in our first ever formal photographs, and for me to fit into the green pants that I wore the night I re-met Mark in Lakewood in 2005.

SOOOOooo....I am at 162.5 per the doctor this week (second opinion from a reliable scale - which is nice) 

AND I tried on the famous Size 10T Green Pants that I have loved and lost over the last 10 years...

Today - 12/13/14 - THEY FIT!!!

 And not just fit, but have a little room in the bucket to spare!!  Check out that bucket!

Today's Measurements as well:

Leg - 22.5" - THAT IS ONE WHOLE INCH - no wonder the pants fit!

Hips - 38" still

Waist - 30" still

Boobs - 34" - lost an inch - not exactly where I want to lose, but okay...

Arm - 12" still

Yipee!  Now just have to keep it going to get to 160 and to not blow the whole thing over the holidays...even though I love all the fudge & cookies!!!

On a weirder note - at my annual physical, my pulse was 42 (normal is 60-100) and my blood pressure was 90/58 (normal is below 120/80).  My doctor didn't seem too concerned because I didn't have any other side effects of low pulse (fainting, chest pains, etc.) but she still did an EKG at the office - the second time, my pulse was 51...still low, but all the peaks & valleys looked normal.  She said it is possible that all the healthy living and working out has made my heart super effecient - she said that is common in healthy young adults (I am old though) and MARATHON RUNNERS (absolutely not me!!!) to have low pulses.

I will post my Cholesterol & blood work stuff when I get it back to compare to my Dec 2013 numbers - to see if our lifestyle change has improved that stuff too.

HEALTH!  It is something else!
