Starting the "last week" 48!!

I finally sucked it up, ate healthy and lost.... (drum-roll please...)....9 pounds this week! AAHHH!! Totally amazing, super excited, can't believe 9 pounds! Wooh! So that brings me to 260 this morning making a total of 43 pounds lost altogether.
    So how did I do it? I ate healthy (was never below 1100 calories and usually closer to 1400), I got the right macros (ratio of proteins, carbs, and fat) and I never skipped a workout! I am just so totally excited. I really worked hard to take care of myself this week and I feel so good!
    So since this is my "last" week of my original goal, I have been thinking about making a new goal. I know that I'm not on track to reach the ultimate end goal of having lost all the weight I need to, but I have made really good progress and would like to continue my blog and maybe change some things up. Like, I was wanting to maybe post more recipes, things I am doing to lose weight, etc.
     So the first goal was until Brycen's Birthday, and I think I will extend my goal out to Lucas' Birthday which will bring it to a total of 70 weeks, which is 32 more weeks and I am 32. Anyway, just a cute little idea of the next goal. I would like to be under 200lbs by then. I am on the right track to make that goal, I just have to keep working hard and doing what I need to!
    In the challenge group I am a part of, one of the coaches said that the way to be fit and healthy is in doing those little things everyday. It's not spending 8 hours a day at the gym or going on a crash diet. It's working out an hour a day and properly fueling your body with the nutrition it needs. The changes at first can be difficult, but the process is just one day, one workout, one meal at a time. And really the process is very simple, and rewarding. It's the change in ourselves that is the hardest, but it's starting to come for me, and I am so happy to let go of the old and embrace the new!
   So for next week, let's say goodbye to the 260s shall we? I'd really love to be in the 250s at least, I may not make the 249 like I had wanted, but I want to be as close to it as possible!
    Thanks all for your help this year, you all have been such a great support to me!
