Results of My Sixteenth Month on CALP

Grandma lost her fight with cancer on June 17th. I arrived at my folks house on June 10th and didn't make it back home until June 20th. I am happy that I was with her when she passed, and I would not have had it any other way.

I am still following my weight loss program and it is now obvious to others. I have lost at least fifty pounds by following CALP and am extremely happy that I made sure to include exercise as a part of my program. Right from the beginning I made the decision to not allow any excuse to keep me from following the guidelines of CALP. I have been true to my exercise program as well, and really love the muscle that I am building.

My husband and I went to the hardware store where our neighbor works. We always stop and say hi since it seems like we never see each other when we are at home. It might have something to do with her living on eleven acres and me living on sixteen, with plenty of space between our houses. When she asked me why I looked different, I told her that I had lost a bunch of weight. When she asked me how, my husband gave her the web address to this site.

I continue to follow my exercise schedule and have only missed it when it was impossible for me to get it done. I missed a couple of weeks while I was recovering from surgery, the day my grandma died, and the day of her funeral. I made sure to make exercise one of my top priorities and it became something that is very important for me to get done.

I finally made it into the next set of 10's this month. Onederland was a wonderful accomplishment, but that was twenty three pounds ago and I am working on my next 10!
