reflection

this year has been a year of physical change for me

so much so that when i just ran up the stairs i didn't recognize myself in that mirror

the other day my good pal, christine (hi C!) said 

you're a totally different looking person then when we first met

way back in summer, i wrote about protecting this house

and it's been a good cycle...

cleaning this house on the inside (healthy foods, exercise)

and decorating this house (darker hair, longer hair!, new glasses)

my new house feels stronger...and looks a little more lady-like

(well, not today because i'm cleaning)

who knew protecting my "house" could cause such a physical chain reaction?

{but i am kinda disappointed the woman in the mirror wasn't someone here to help me clean...}

losing it

so extra pounds make hiking these Alaskan mountains (see the itty bitty people?) and getting into 6 seater bush planes a little more difficult

so i am beginning to lose it...good riddance!

found a great site...it's free...it's easy

weight watchers without all the calculating and counting points

LoseIt!

i'm feeling healthier and lighter already

those numbers are going down!

and this is helping, too...so good
