Halloween

Last Friday I went to a costume party, I was nervous because I haven't worn my costume since I was 186lbs. 

October 2009 186lbs

207lbs

I was pretty happy about how the costume fit.

Today I wore kitty ears to work:

Tonight we handed out candy around a fire in our firepit.

And Mario & Luigi kept us company!

We're happy (healthy) campers...

This weekend we had our first annual meetup with some people in the southeast who have the same kind of vintage camper we do. We planned ahead for healthy meals all weekend, including what we were bringing to the potluck Saturday night: turkey chili.We brought egg beaters & turkey bacon for breakfast, chicken, wheat bread and 2% cheese for lunch & skinnytaste's banana cream pie for dessert! 

To our surprise & delight, several others were also watching their weight/healthy eaters who brought health-minded meals as well!

Saturday we went for a hike around the park with some of the other campers.

We had a long, refreshing weekend with new friends.

Sadly my camera batteries died on me after this picture.

Cute husband & weenies Kramer & George.

Getting our ride on...

We rode our bikes 3 mornings this week before work :)

We went to 2 local parks and tried different trails & routes.

We also rode them after work in our neighborhood.

I can't wait til next spring!

Getting close to that 40lbs down mark!

This makes it even more real to me.

I am getting closer to losing more weight than last time as well.

I bought a bike!

When we were on vacation we rode our rental bikes every day! and it was so much fun I googled bikes to buy before we even got home.

Today we went to pick them up & mine is so cute!

Super excited to use it next week!

An amazingly hard workout week! I stepped up my game, getting ready for that halloween costume party!

30lbs down!

My reward for losing 30lbs was to be able to wear these shoes out on the town.

I bought these shoes in the fall of 2010 and I promised that I would lose 20lbs before I would wear them. Well I gained weight since then, so i decided I needed to lose 30lbs to wear them. And that I did!

We went out to hibachi and I wore those shoes proudly!

& my reward of wearing some sexy shoes out!

Hopefully you will see a post later this week about that!
