Everything continues to go well. I am down 64 pounds today. In looking at the calendar, I haven't lost many pounds in the last week and a half, but every month I've gone through a small plateau, right around the 3rd/4th week. I'm definitely not worried about this at all, because I continue to follow the rules: get enough protein in my daily diet, take all of my vitamins, drink a lot of water, and get some exercise into my routine. All over I feel wonderful changes--I have more energy, I'm able to sleep without my C-PAP machine and I'm not tired, I'm wearing the smallest sizes I've worn in such a long time, etc. Chris's company Christmas party is coming up on December 19th. Last year, I bought a beautiful new dress, which is too big now, and I was thinking I really didn't want to buy a new dress since I could only wear it this year. So...I thought about some of the dresses in my closet, and I found a 'little black dress' that I wore to the first dance I went to with Chris in 1996--Winterfest at Millbrook. The dress is a size 16, and it is short, black, and has silver sparkles on it. About a month ago, I tried it on, and it was a little snug, but it fit!!! It's still in style, because little black dresses are always in style, so I decided I was going to wear it. I bought some new silver sparkly high heels (which are sooooo high) and I'm going to get a new silver clutch, and voila--a "new" outfit I can wear! I tried it on again last night, and it fits perfectly. I am so excited to wear it. I'll post our professional picture that we order every year. :)
We had a great time in New York!! We were able to walk everywhere, and I could tell that I wasn't nearly as tired, and I could walk more than our previous NY trips. I got a ton of exercise that week we were there. Since we've been back, I've gone to the gym twice, so my goal for next week is to make it at least 3 times, if not 4. Here are some pictures from our trip:

We had a great view of the balloons!

Well, I have a TON of things to do today, so I'll have to write more later. Have a great Sunday!
