I weighed in this morning and was so happy to see I lost 1.9 pounds. Using a scale that is so precise works to my benefit on those weeks when I can celebrate a point something loss, but this time I would have liked to be able to say I lost 2 pounds, but I couldn't get that .1 to budge for me. Ha Ha.
This loss was significant because it meant I reached two goals! My first goal was to lose 31 lbs. by March 31st. I'm a few days late, but I've officially lost 31.3 lbs. The reason I wanted to lose 31 lbs. was because it meant I had broken into a new "decade" on the scale. Sorry, but I'm not willing to be so transparent that I tell you the actual number on the scale, but I now weigh ##8.7
I'm feeling so thankful! I was starting to slip with my eating. It was easy to grab a little handful of this or nibble on that and pretend like it doesn't count. I had to regroup this weekend and recommit. It paid off! : )
The beautiful spring weather we are having is really helping in the motivation department!
One goal down, four more to go!!!
Goals:
Run 5K race on May 16th
Run 5 mile race in September
Lose 50 pounds by August 14th
Lose 60 pounds by Christmas and then I celebrate!!!
Here's my current stats:
Pounds lost this week: - 1.9 lbs.
Total Pounds so far: - 31.3 lbs.Yippee!
Thanks for all of the encouragement! If you are writing a fitness blog of your own, let me know so I can add you to my "Fellow Climbers" section on the sidebar.

You're doing so well!
I have been slipping lately myself...trying hard to get back into a groove....
The sugarfree gum works!! Every Sunday and Wednesday we give the kids candy, so every time that I pass it out, I have a piece or two. This sunday I had the gum in my mouth, and I never even thought about eating the candy. I am going to have to keep the gum in my house, purse, at work, everywhere that I am so I won't be tempted by sweets anymore. Keep up the good work, you are such an inspiration
WOW!!!!! You are doing great!! What is the secret? I am on a weight loss journey as well. God Bless you~
