Just to update the stats:
Upper body hasn't changed at all - isn't that weird? So, these are for below the chest on down.
Waist 41.5 (down 1.5)
Butt 54 (down 1)
Left thigh 27.5 (down 2.5)
Right thigh 27 (down 3.5) (did I not measure in the same place?)
Left calf 20 (down .5)
Right calf 19.5 (down .75)
Both ankles 10 (down 1 each) (isn't that interesting?)
Looks like I need to get on the stick with the upper body.
Tracking My Progress

I'm Still Here ... Really!
I'm sure you're thinking, "She bailed! What a slacker! None of these Fat Chicks ever sticks with the program. I'll bet she's off buying candy by the pound at See's or Ethel M's!"
So sorry, and "neener neener neener" because I'm still at it! So there.
There have just been so many changes going on in my life, I haven't had a chance to post here recently.
Quit my second job, bought a fixer-upper house - which is basically another full-time job - and then moved into it. And if you've read my profile, you know that I'm an accountant. Tax season just passed us by. It was a kicker, too, this year, because we had a bunch of "front office" issues with personnel.
One gal had to go out on total bed rest due to complications with her pregnancy in mid-February. Her replacement is a complete ninny, incapable of even the smallest attempts at rational thought or logic. Cute as a button, but dumb as a post. She kind of reminds me of a puppy. No control over any of her emotions, and everything in the world revolves around her. It's maddening, I tell you!
Another pregnant gal went out 10 days... yes, 10 days... prior to the April filing deadline, also with complications of pregnancy. Unfortunately, that meant that my staff in the bookkeeping department - and myself, as well - ended up answering phones, assembling tax returns and handing them out.
Then after tax season is the end-of-quarter reports for payroll and sales taxes, plus property tax statements for businesses. California is a taxing place ;) . I'm finally coming up for air, and actually delighted to find that I haven't completely lost my momentum for weight loss. I did gain a couple of pounds, but I'm doing really well in spite of all the upheaval and stress. This morning found me at 243.4 - not too shabby. (I mean, duh, "yes" it's a crap weight to be, but at least I'm not all the way back up at 253.)
I recently purchased a new workout video set from Beach Body. If I get some good results from it, I'll be posting them here. So far, it's a great sweat maker, and that's a good thing.
And if you think yard work isn't hard work... you've never done any. My new place has way too much yard for me. I spend a lot of time ignoring it, simply because it takes so much time!! My dad came by today and helped me get the front yard cut down and cleaned up. He's an awesome guy. So that was my workout today - raking, sweeping, pushing and pulling the dang green waste can all over the place, bending down to pick up the cuttings and then reaching up to put them in the can, etc etc etc etc. Sore? Yep.
I'm still here. I'm still working on it. You can count on that.
