You don't look THAT big...

So what exactly does that mean? Over the summer after a phone call from my BFF I realized that it was time for me to do something about my weight. I mean I wasn't extremely Discovery Health Channel special huge but I am not your size 8 not a care in the world size either. I like to refer to myself as a member of team chunk and I am no longer satisfied with my membership. So I set out to loose 100 lbs... yeeeaaahhhhhhhh. I started working out regularly in August, took a break for some of September, then kicked it into high gear till November. Unfortunately I got injured and had to cease all workouts and things of that nature. But I was still motivated...I, Joanne had lost 22 pounds (at the time). I was so elated and over joyed. Now at a 26lbs weight loss, I cant help but feel that I have so much further to go... 74 pounds to be exact. When ever I tell people that I am loosing 100 lbs I always get the "You don't need to loose that much weight, you're not THAT big"... Question: What exactly is THAT big??? Sometimes I wonder what I look like to others. Yea, your saying "It doesn't matter what people think"...ummmm you try being tubby. Although I am not losing that weight for other (it took me a while to figure that out), I still do wonder. But I digress, I want to loose weight to be healthy, happy, live a longer life, and YES fit into that designer label dress. Now, that I have been working out and seeing the change in my body and when I lose the quickest and the slowest... I might drop it down to 80 lbs total... but we will cross that pudding covered bridge when we get there.

Where the heck have you been.....

Well long story short... everywhere. My life has been crazy these last few months and between health issues and trying to graduate I really have put my blog on the back burner. But to answer some question: Yes, I am alive lol and Yes, I am still on my WLJ (26 lbs down) Yay me!!
