I'm NORMAL!!!!!

Actually hit this a few days ago, and haven't taken the time to blog till now. But, I have reached the "normal" range on the BMI Scale!!!! I have all these numbers in my head....the number to "normal," the number till having lost half my starting weight and of course, my "goal" weight. So, I was rushing around the other morning trying to get my younger two out the door to the bus and then was going to take my oldest and drop him off at his school....as it's on the way to the gym. I hurried and jumped on the scale as I changed from my jammies to my gym clothes, wrote the number on my calendar got dressed and ran out the door. I was in warm up mode on the treadmill when I started thinking about the numbers and I was like "WAIT!!! Did I actually become "normal" this morning????" So, I grabbed my phone as I'm briskly walking and pull up a BMI calculator and start plugging my numbers in. Sure enough!!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! THIS is what it's all about....getting to the range that is considered not just "normal" but HEALTHY!!! The looking good is just the icing on the cake. :) I felt like I was flying on the treadmill that morning and it made for a fantastic start to the day and I think I had a smile plastered on my face all day long. :)

I really am regretting my choice to go off plan for Easter right now. The scale is moving again....but I really wonder how much closer I'd be now if I hadn't derailed it. It's not like Easter is like Thanksgiving and Christmas meal wise....though we did have a nice meal. But, I'm just really not sure it was THAT worth it since I'm so close!!! Live and learn, I guess. ;)

So.....where do I stand now? I am 1.4 pounds away from having lost 1/2 my starting weight (140 pounds), and I am 11.4 away from goal. :)
