"Light 'em up, up, up"

First thing is first--GO HAWKS!  #wegotthecup

Since I last wrote, I have continued to be active and am on a downward trend weight-wise.  I've started using LoseIt again and have been inspired.  I walk to work every day, and I try to walk back if it is not too late when I leave.  So far, I'm down about four pounds in four weeks, which is no big accomplishment but nothing to scoff at either.  Other than walking and volleyball once a week, I have not made a full return to the gym, but I am paying more attention to doing my post-surgery stretches and taking the steps necessary to make sure my hip is ready for what it is about to endure.  I have, however, returned to my previous focus on the kind of food I am eating and the quality/quantity.  I have rediscovered the fun of losing weight, and I can't wait to get back to where I used to be.  In May 2011, I was at my lowest weight--down about 27-30 pounds from where I started in January 2011.  Now, in July 2013, I am still down 17 pounds.  Here's to the next 13 and another 10 or so after that. :)
