Another Year Gone By

...and successes have been numerous!
I have lost (and kept off) another 4lbs and 2 inches off my midsection. (I weigh 120lbs, abs still at 33", waist: 35 tummy: 35)
However, I have lost inches off my ribcage and bust as well. From July 7 - Sept 8 I went down a dress size and needed new bras. Yay!
Another thing that I can not measure are my leg muscles that look amazing. My arms are coming along too, especially my triceps.

I went on a rock climbing camping trip for my birthday in August and realized that yes, I am a mountain climber in addition to an indoor wall climber.
Climbing indoors has also brought me success in another area of my life: I have a beau and his name is Jeff. We met climbing and have also taken up tennis, racquetball and go hiking together. It is wonderful to have another person in my world that challenges me to be active and eat healthy, as I challenge him.
This winter we are going to do cross country, downhill skiing and snowshoeing, in addition to indoor climbing, weights and cardio.

One thing I know, is that I have been self-sabotaging. I sneak cookies and chocolate and it's because I work at a clothing store and I fit into the smallest size pants there. I realize that other stores carry smaller fitting pants, but I don't get a discount and it's costly to buy new pants. However, today a customer suggested that I could simply get my current pants altered smaller for a fraction of the price. What a perfect idea! Now I really have no excuse...

With 6 weeks left before Christmas, I really would like to see my tummy flatten out. I know that it all boils down to the kitchen, carbs and cardio!!!
