Weighed 266.0 this morning- goodbye 2 more pounds! 37 pounds down! That's just awesome! Every week I get to be a little lighter than the week before. I am loving it! The weeks add up and the weight goes down and I just have to keep doing what I am doing, keep trying, keep making the effort, keep working out, it's happening!
I've had a few "low" weeks where I am losing 1 or 2 pounds, but after 9 weeks I haven't gained or stayed the same. My eating has been good, but could be better. I am feeling healthier and stronger and I love it! I can't help but wonder what a "perfect" week would do for me. If I ate "perfectly" getting all my proper nutrition and if I didn't miss a workout at all? How would I feel?
Hmmm.... shall we find out??
Tune in next week........

Week 41 Begins
As I celebrate 40 weeks, I bring total weight loss to 35 pounds, 25 of which have been lost in the last 8 weeks! Considering the horrible week I had, when I stepped on the scale this morning I was blown away by having lost another pound. I am on an 8 week streak of losing at least one pound every week, averaging over 3 pounds a week. That is so incredible! 268-- I was so happy to see that this morning! What a great blessing it was! With a bunch of skipped workouts and not the best nutrition plus getting ready for and taking my Counselor's Exam, it really was a tough week for me. To see another pound come off really helped me to put into perspective that this is a lifelong change which is taking effect. So I am ready to get back on it and keep pushing forward. I took a little bit of a stumble this week, but I didn't lose it completely! And it's time to push forward. Get those workouts, fuel my body with the right nutrition and be happy! These changes are starting to take hold, I've gotta help them become my new "normal".
I hope in the next 8 weeks that I can lose another 19 pounds and hit that weight goal of being under 250. That would reach my goal of being thinner & healthier than Brycen has ever seen me, just in time for his birthday! That would be awesome! So thanks all for your help & encouragement this week! Steady and strong finishes the race! Ready to step up!

Into Week 40
Another pound down! I have to remember to be excited for each pound I lose and that when I lose a BIG number, like the 6 pounds I lost last week, I usually have a week where I only lose a pound or two. With how hard I worked this week, I would have thought I would have lost more, but one pound is still very good.
The focus on the scale and weight loss this week threw off my groove. I know I have been doing so good and I'm happy with the success I have made, but seeing how far I still have to go can be intimidating. I just really want those BIG numbers. But, even the small ones make a difference.
So, even though it's not what I wanted, I'm gonna celebrate that 1 pound and I'm gonna move forward this week continuing to eat healthy and do my workouts the best I can. Keeping my focus on taking care of myself and listening to my body will help me not get sidetracked by the scale!
Thanks all for your support on this journey-- 34 pounds down in 39 weeks-- that is not shabby at all!
Here's to another week down!

Starting Week 39- Big Numbers!
BIG weight loss this week! 6 pounds! Yes! What a great achievement. Honestly with my birthday, family reunions, and the 4th of July my eating wasn't the best at the beginning of the week. But, I finished strong, didn't skip any workouts and got a big reward! So that brings weight loss to a total of 33 pounds, surpassing over 10% of my original body weight! Woohoo!
Going strong and feeling great. My nutrition is really tightening down and it feels really healthy and good. My cravings are less and my desire to overeat is pretty much gone. Exercising and eating right really make your body feel great (if not a bit sore!)
Hope all of you had a safe and happy holiday. It was so great to visit with Brycen's Mom's relatives! Had a great time! Thanks Aunt Michelle for all your support and encouragement! Family truly is wonderful!
Until next week- Keepin' it strong!
