One Year Ago Today

Exactly one year ago today (October 20, 2007), I walked into Weight Watchers with my friend Debbie to try and lose some of the weight I had accumulated over the 4 years I had been married. One year later I am almost 40lbs lighter, more fit and skinnier than I have ever been in my life, healthy, happy, and proud of what I have accomplished. Here are some of the highlights from this last year to celebrate setting goals and making them come true!!

1. Lost almost 40 pounds
2. LJ's brother Jake got married
3. Went on a Cruise to Mexico with LJ's family
4. My brother Kris graduated from high school

6. Traveled to Washington DC for the NEA Representative Assembly
7. Walked the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
8. Ran my first ever 10K in the Great Potato
9. Ran on a team in the Sawtooth Relay
10. Traveled to Montana to watch my Uncle Greg's Wedding
11. Moved into a brand new school
12. Graduated with my Masters Degree
13. I fit into pants I used to wear in college
14. Celebrated my mom, dad, and mother in law's 50th B-days
15. Gained confidence, accomplished my goals and got in shape!!
