Hello everyone!! Today's been a good day so far! Went and exercised for an hour--and actually did an entire mile on the elliptical machine. It was weird, I was only going to do 100 calories, which turned out to be .6 miles and then I just found that I felt really powerful and I started pushing myself faster and faster and ended up doing 1.04 miles and 160 calories. My legs were wobbly after I got off, I felt like I was a cartoon figure walking around with jello legs 
but I felt good. Then I did my weight lifting stuff. I feel energized.
Exercises:
1 mile on elliptical machine
150 torso twists
50 sit-ups
50 adductions
30 abductions
30 overhead presses
30 sitting-leg presses
30 lower back things
Tomorrow is my shopping day~~and maybe a picture day.

Torso twist: A machine that looks like this:
I've also seen people do an exercise like this standing up and wrapping their arms behind a broom stick (weight bar) and twisting. Twist one way for 30 reps, then twist the other way for 30 reps. I actually do 75 one way and then the other. The main goal of this exercise is to work the obliques, it's the squishy fat on the left and right side of my abs.

Hey Katie, congrats to both of you. I can't wait to see myself below 400 and I'm thrilled that I'll have company getting there.

Ok so I spent more money on clothes today than I think I ever have...and I had a great time!
Ok, here's my ugly before picture. It was taken this summer on our trip across the country. I'm gesturing to the sign that say's 'Cracker Barrel'.
*shudders* Never again!
So now I'm going to subject all of you to Kaitie fashion show!!
First off we have Kaitie wearing a stylish blue knit sweater, brown camisole, gray with blue stripes skirt and her new brown suede boots. Doesn't she look fabulous!
Next we have Kaitie wearing a fantastic pair of size 14 jeans, something she can assure you she hasn't worn in 7 years! She's paired it with a fitted red sweater. Look at that long hair T2!
Last picture of the night (although I assure you I bought a whole crap load more!), Kaitie has put on her new favorite corduroy jacket with fuzzy trim. She looks so freakin' hot in this picture---she can't believe it!
Ok folks, I've tortured you enough! Thanks for not falling off your chair and laughing at my awful ugly before picture! Better pictures are yet to come, and a little foundation to--I didn't realize my skin was so blotchy!
Exercises for the day:
200 calories on the elliptical
30 leg lifts
30 sitting rows
150 torso twists
50 sit-ups
30 adductions
50 abductions

*blushes* You guys make me feel so good!!
I couldn't see the difference the 24 pounds was making upon my appearance until I looked at these new pictures--it feels great!!!
On a side note: I don't know if its the new clothes or the fact that they are noticing that I'm not a blob anymore but everyone (teachers) I've passed today have given me a double take. That's a yummy feeling!
Thanks again everyone! *squishy hugs*
