April 2, 2000:
I know I didn't update last week, but it was another one of those no gain/no loss weeks. Chalk it up to some more water retention. But THIS week ... I lost 2 pounds! This makes it a total of 101 (!!) pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! I put an updated photo on my photo page. Pretty amazing when you compare it to this one. ;-)
I've been doing well with exercise. My new exercise goals, which I made to fit into my schedule are:
- Tae-Bo on Saturday
- Tae-Bo on Sunday
- Tae-Bo on *either* Monday or Friday
Those are the days that I don't have class. So far I've been sticking to it pretty well!
April 3, 2000:
It's Monday, and even though I was at the hospital with my mom all morning (she had some surgery) I did Tae-Bo!! I am doing a Live Basic Tae-Bo tape from a four-tape Tae-Bo Live set. I also ordered the Live Tae-Bo Basic Series on auto-delivery, and I'm waiting for my first tape to get here! I'm getting into exercise again, and it feels relly good. :-)
Okay, last week I was down 2 pounds and this week I'm down 2 more! This makes it a total of 105 pounds!! I think I said it best in my message on the board this morning:
Sunday weigh-in!!!!!!! :-) Posted By: LisaB Date: 16 April 2000, at 5:13 a.m. Good morning!!!!!!!!! :-)
Sorry about the extra exclamation points this morning, but I'm I'm down 2 more pounds and I'm totally excited about it! This makes it a total of 105 pounds, with 99 to go. Yes, I know I usually don't think in terms of how much I have to go, but for the first time in AGES, I can honestly say that ...
I HAVE LESS THAN 100 POUNDS LEFT TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to admit it's freaking me out a little. How can this be? I'm Lisa Borden, the FATTEST girl in the whole school. (Yes, everyone always used my last name to refer to me. I couldn't be just "Lisa". It's like they loved to run my two names together just to be annoying. "Jason, watch out or I'll have LISA BORDEN sit on you!" You get the picture.) How can *I* have less than 100 pounds to lose? This is hard to explain. I've known for a while that someday this would happen, and someday I'll make it to my final goal. But a small part of me didn't actually think that reaching this milestone would be a reality, and that's the part that's freaking out now. Am I making any sense? It seems to be happening so fast now. And I'm excited about it!! It's just a little scary at the same time.
You know, yesterday I was wearing some old shorts around the house and they were huge. I ***jokingly*** asked my mom if I should gain some weight to make my clothes fit. (Note: I was never serious about that!) But it made me think about it. It made me think about gaining back my 105 pounds and being at the weight I used to be. I never, never, **EVER** want to go back there. I *am* serious about that. I was totally miserable, and had little to no self esteem. Now I'm more confident and I'm looking to have a great career in the future doing something I want to do. And best of all, I'll be HEALTHY!!!!!!
Geez, sometimes I just won't shut up, huh? LOL!! Those were just some thoughts I've been having. Anyway, I'm off to have a morning walk in the park since it's soooooo nice out! Have a great day!! :-)

In other news, I've been doing GREAT with my exercise goals! Last week I did Tae-Bo 3 times. I would have done it 4, but I was in a lot of pain on Monday! And this week I've done it Saturday and Sunday so far, and I also took a walk today (Sunday). It feels great!!
