A Slow in Coming Update

I noticed today that I haven't blogged in almost 12 days! What a slacker!!

Well, here's the update!

I'm still going strong. I still haven't cheated yet! I can hardly believe this! I love my chocolate and other various forms of junk so I am surprised that I haven't given in! Easter was kind of hard and I really wanted to taste some of the yummies that were presented but I didn't.

My only real struggle has been getting to the gym and drinking all of my water. I've made a concerted effort this week and I hope it will be paying off.

I'm going to run a 5K with a friend in September so I started running (really just 'jogging') this week and hope it will help burn some of this extra fat I'm carting around!

I read Martha's plug for the run this weekend so I thought I would throw mine out there too! This Friday night me and 11 other Mothers of Preschoolers will be taking turns walking through the night in an effort to raise money for the American Cancer Society and our local Relay for Life. You should all come out and bring your families! There will be a lot of fun activities and food all for donations! I'll be at the big inflatable boxing ring if you want to come say hi!

All in all things are going really good and as of Monday I'm down a total of 24 lbs!!! Only 23 more to go!!! And I feel great!

I Feel Fantastic!!!

Aside from the enormous stress I've been under.... I feel fantastic!!! I can't believe I haven't done this sooner! Idiot. The last couple of weeks my loss has been a little slow but as of today I weighed 2 lbs lighter for a total of 24.5 lbs!! I've pretty much gone down 2-3 dress sizes and it feels great! When I started, I had 47 lbs to lose. I've officially lost half of that!

Thank you, Catherine and Martha, for giving me this fantastic opportunity!!

Slowing Down

Weighed in another pound down today! Better down than up, I always say! Truth is though... I realize that it has kind of slowed down. Reason? I cut back at the gym. My stress levels on this whole house selling and buying are through the roof and I haven't dealt well in the exercise arena. I haven't cheated on the diet. But, I haven't been going to the gym like I should. Realizing this and actually writing it down gives me some incentive to change it. I'll see what I can do this weekend to boost the exercise thing!

One Month Later

Today is April 2. I bet you didn't know that. (: We started this weight loss journey on March 2. Wow. 4 weeks makes a big difference. These last 4 weeks have changed my life. After weighing in today I've lost a total of 19.5 lbs. And I really don't care to look for where those lbs have gone! I really like them missing from my life. Don't really care to have them back... ever. It's a new me.
