Drumroll, please!!

4.8 pounds gone this week!!

Woo hoo!  I am a beast!

I would like to thank the Acadamy, my parents, my friends, my fans, and most of all God.  Seriously though, a lot of prayer has gone into this week's efforts to work out, eat right, and track my points.  God has been there to help me through it by providing motivation in the form of friends and family, and I'm very grateful.

So, to celebrate my tremendous weight loss, I worked out extra hard!  I didn't cut out early this morning.  I did the full 30 minutes, weight lifting, and stretching.  I told ya, I'm a beast.  Maybe because I was on a euphoric weight-loss high, but it didn't feel quite as hard to work out today.  I am not a big fan of exercise, but today's little jaunt on the elliptical was not nearly as hard as it has been recently.  Maybe I'm getting used to it...or maybe I am high on good weight-loss feelings, who knows.

So, 95.2 pounds left to go this year.  Do-able.  Challenging, but do-able.

I've decided to give myself a little mini-goal though, because 95 pounds is an awful lot.  Right now I'm at 266.2 pounds.  My first mini goal is to reach 259.  I want to see that middle number change from a 6 to a 5.  That's my first "big" mini-goal.  And when I get there, I am going to reward myself with some new workout clothes.  I haven't bought workout clothes for several years, and it shows.  So this is good motivation for me.

Yea, me!  I rock!!
