A Shout Out!

This is for you, Kang! (I hope I spelled it right!)

So, we are at about the 4 month mark. None of my shorts fit - unless I want to hold them up with one hand when I run - and that is AFTER falling off the wagon a bit since our return from Las Vegas. My exercise has been minimal (still doing sit ups/crunches and push- ups and wearing my leg weights) and I haven't been on the tread mill in over week! I did have hula this morning, so that is something.

But I have been snacking a bit more since we've had some minor events over the past. The Good News is that I haven't been gaining, so the caloric count is still down and that is good.

Fast forward to today - and I got a HUGE compliment. I haven't seen another Tae Kwon Do mother since early April. She walked in today and sat down to talk with me. She kind of stared me up and down, and made a narrowing movement with hands and asked, "Have you, are you, did you . . .?" I filled in, "Lose weight? Yeah, I've been on a diet." She nearly jumped out of her skin and asked, "What have you been doing?! I keep working out but not like you!"

Then I told her about the "I get half" diet and she was shocked. I told her I would email the link to this blog, and she just kept saying, "You are so beautiful and so sexy!" And now I *feel* beautiful and sexy!

Thanks, Kang!
