Six Month Mark and a Milestone!

I have been working hard these past 6 months and it's paying off.

The diet isn't that bad really ... I like the food and I LOVE vegetables .... the hard part is staying with it. There are so many temptations out there, so many influences to get you off track. Come on, let's have a slice of cake ... come on, just one bite wont hurt you! NO NO NO NO NO!

Just say NO as Nancy Reagan would say .... or Just Keep Moving as Michelle Obama would recommend ... the only good part of that administration. haha.

But today I weighed in as I do every saturday and I have reached an AMAZING goal of mine, one when I started this journey, I couldn't have hoped for. ... I lost another 3.4lbs. Which means that I am down a total of 42lbs. in six months.

That number already sounds huge to me, but lets put this number into perspective.

When I started this journey, I was the heaviest I've ever been. Weighing in at 210lbs. I was HUGE!
Now at 168lbs., I have lost 20% of my body mass!!!!!! Who does that??? ME!

I've lost 20% in 6 months ... at home with nothing more than a simple change in diet. WOW!

Not only that ... I've lost enough weight to move me out of the obesity category and into the delightfully overweight category.

Lew-Ann told me to accomplish about 5% -10% loss for the year ... that little bit would help my condition ... but no, I'm only half way through the year and have lost 20% AND I'm not obese anymore!!

I still have another 6 months to go, I can't wait to see the look on Lew-Ann's face when I weigh in at my one year mark. I am so excited today .... nothing can affect my mood today.
