I MADE IT!

I am now 199 lbs! I can’t believe it! I am 4 lbs away from being at my lowest weight in the last 7 years. I am so ecstatic! People are noticing more and I am starting to have so much energy. I am realizing how flexible I am and athletic I can be. I can go on exercise machines now with ease and I like doing it! I was worried about Halloween parties but now I’m really not worried at all. I might mess up but I’m planning on walking to the gym tomorrow and exercising for two hours and then walking home. I might take a cardio kickboxing class. I usually miss it because I have class but thankfully class is canceled tomorrow! And for the Halloween party I’m going to I will probably have a Reese’s peanut butter cup and maybe a bud light or something. I’ll eat before hand I think.
My goal was to be at 199 by November 1st and I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it because this has been a pretty challenging week. After winning the bet we all went to my aunts house and….weirdly enough she had made fattening baked ziti, bread sticks, chicken with a TON of butter, apple crisp pie, snicker doodles, beer, and wine. I loaded up on green beans, a piece of chicken, and I made a pumpkin fluff pie! ITS DELICIOUS! I got the recipe from Weight Watchers a couple years back and I’ve been making it ever since. Everyone always loves it and no one can tell its healthy. It takes 5 minutes to make and if you like pumpkin you really can’t go wrong. I took them recipe from a Weight Watcher Website.
HERE IT IS:
Ingredients:
1 container (16 ounce size) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (5 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can (15 ounce size) solid pack pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together instant pudding mix, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in whipped topping. Chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
I usually use butterscotch pudding mix and I put a teaspoon of vanilla extract in it. I also use allspice,nutmeg and cinnamon because I don’t have pumpkin pie spice. IT’S GREAT!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Congratulations!!!
I am so happy for you - you keep going! Way to go you!
