I'm baaaccckkk

Oh my gosh, I haven't blogged in sooooo long!! First I was on vacation and then I got a sinus infection last week. I am finally back working out again after taking a two week break. I signed up for SWEAT's "maintenance plan" - it is a pretty good deal. I was amazed last night how hard it was to get back into exercising. After only two weeks, my endurance was very decreased.
My official weight at the end of the 12 weeks was 157.2. I am not sure how many total inches I lost, they are still looking for my beginning measurements (couldn't find the sheet) - but I know for sure that I lost 5 inches in my waist. I haven't been a 30 inch waist for YEARS! Yaaa
On the downside, most of my pants look like clown pants, I only have about 5 pairs that actually fit me now. Will have to save some $$ to get new pants and/or alterations.
Now, on to the flu-- is anyone else concerned or do you think it is being overblown. This is how I figure it -- if it is being a bit overblown, maybe that is for the best right now when we don't know how virulent this flu is going to be. I mean, if they had instituted these kinds of measures at the beginning of the 1918 epidemic, it probably would have saved some lives, right?
