big news people!

big update! to date i have lost 106 lbs! i was stuck in the 90's for a few weeks and i was very discouraged. i guess that's why i didn't write for a while. last monday, patriots day, i went downtown with aiden and our friends, lizzie, owen, and josh to all the marathon hoopla. we parked about a mile a way from the finish line and seriously walked about 10 miles that day. we walked for hours. we went all around, and some streets we couldn't go down because it was roped off even for pedestrians and we would have to go around the whole block. sounds easy, but for the former rachael i would have never done something like this. however, i think that this is one of the reasons that i lost more weight and got over the plateau i was on for weeks. i told lizzie that i want her to be my personal trainer! LOL

i went to a wedding this weekend and had fun. it felt nice to be told i was looking good by people that hadn't seen me in a while...real nice!

till next time :)

lil update :)

so here i am, getting ready to go to my "lifestyle nutrition" group at MGH. this is a group that i am required to go to every other week for 6 sessions. they tell me that this class/group will be a support and teaching took for myself for the rest of my life! i will fill you in on more after i attend.

so i haven't heard anything back from the doctor's office regarding my labs that i took last week, but at the office visit i was reading 89 lbs on their scale. this morning i weighed myself and i was at 93 lbs lost! almost to my 100 lb mark! can u believe it? i am also only 5 lbs away from weighing what i did my senior year in high school. fricking awesome!

i still try to stay away from chicken, it feels like it gets stuck! i tend to go for moister protein choices.

till next time :)
