For me anyway. I’ve never done a Thursday Thirteen before!
Thirteen Things About the Last Three Months
In the last three months…
1. I have had almost no sugar or white flour. And no potatoes or white rice. I haven’t missed them at all.
2. I have exercised 4-6 times a week - EVERY week. And I think I’ve come to like it! 
3. I have gone down at least two clothing sizes. From a Lane Bryant 18 - which is more like a 20 - to a regular misses 16 petite. Yeehaw! And might I add Yippee Skippee.
4. I have found muscles and energy that I never knew I had and I think I may actually have collar bones!
5. I have enjoyed the comradery of the fabulous ladies here at OWOA!! 
6. I have gone from days where no vegetable or fruit crossed my lips to routinely getting five or more servings of veggies a day.
7. I have found out how incredibly yummy apples are when you’re not accustomed to cookies and candy.
8. I have broken a habit established through four pregnancies of having to eat before bedtime.
9. I have started liking the face in the mirror! It’s amazing how big your eyes and lips can look when you get some weight off your face!
10. I have come to believe that I really truly am going to get this weight off and find out what it’s like to live as an energetic fit and healthy person. (barring some unforeseen event, of course)
11. I’ve saved a lot of money on eating out, buying tortilla chips, Pepsi, and Starbucks Cafe Mochas. On the other hand, I spent quite a bit on beads and bags of Starbucks to brew at home. I mean really, if you’re not going to eat all the treats, you ought to at least have good coffee - especially when you drink it black! And the beads give me something to do with my hands besides lifting them to my mouth! 
12. I’ve tried not to buy too many new clothes, but it’s hard to resist! Have I mentioned that this is my new favorite place to shop?! Today is the last day for getting 50% off your entire order - use code WJH2245
13. I’ve lost 28.4 pounds. That’s over a third of my goal - gone. Thank God!!!
As I’ve said, I’ve never done this Thursday thing before. I don’t know all the proper procedure… So I’m just a-gonna say that if you want to see some more of these thirteen type people, go see Carol. And of course, all my wonderful OWOA pals, if you feel like putting up a 13 of your own - GO FOR IT!!
Yay, go Blest! You’re doing so well, and a real inspiration to me (and loads of others I’m sure). Keep up the good work
