Powerful!

I wonder if my Guy realizes how much I love him. How much he means to me? We all change and grow throughout the years. The key is to learn from past relationships. And, we must learn from past transgressions and vow to do things differently to get a different result.

The New Me.....

Late in the midnight hour....God is going to turn it around. It's going to work in your favor.

Good Week!!!

"You gotta work hard on the days you're feeling good and work even harder on the days you aren't feelin it.. build up that mentality."

Continuing To Improve....

I refused to let anyone steal my joy. I am in search of a perfect love. One where my guy is a true gentleman....clean cut....great communicator.....and willing to be man and keep our relationship sacred and number 1. Hard to find....but, I pray I have already. I pray he is already in the midst. And, that I all I need to do is be patient and cultivate it a little more.

3.4 Pounds Loss

Me

When you are opening the door to deliverance, it is mandatory that you take the first step......

Gain 1.2 Pounds....

Bad week. But, I had a lot of different pastas last week. I will change my diet and be back.

Me

I love the skin that I'm in. I love the mentality that I have developed. I love knowing that I am the best me I can be every morning.

Feeling Pretty Good

I feeling really good physically. I started a new workout regiment. One that was sent to me and one from the Jilliam Michaels workout.

I have moments each week where I get tired of the structured eating habits. But, then I try on clothes and get ready for the day and I remember how much it is worth it.

It's been a long time since I have seen this size.

What's even more amazing is how people respond to people who take care of themselves physically. I have always had smart things to say. But, I can tell you more people listen and are attentive to my work and my ideas. More doors are opened for me and I am called young lady a lot more now. Quite funny actually. I really hope that is not my same approach to people. Intelligence and beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. I chose to be a different size.

I Am Proud To Be A Leo Woman

There is one thing that most of the Leo women never falls short of - male attention. She will most probably be the center of attention everywhere and if you are trying to woo her, be ready to get lots of competition. She will be the leader of her group and the other members will always accept her out of choice. The typical characteristics profile of a Leo woman includes qualities like liveliness, ingenuity, elegance, beauty, and sensuality. She is one of those who love, respect and care for their partners, but don't expect her to worship you.

She wouldn't be dominated; rather she has to be restrained. She is a complete woman and she expects you to be a real man. If you meet a Leo girl who comes across as very gentle, mellowed and completely harmless, don't get fooled. Inside, she is as passionate as any other Leo woman. If you are planning to give her a gift; better make sure that it is classy and as per her superior taste. Please be properly dressed while giving the gift. If you are trying to win the heart of a Leo female, give her genuine, decent and original compliments.

While courting her, never forget that she likes class and style. Don't even think of going to the roadside hamburger stall after watching the movie. She is not after money, but shabby surroundings make her pretty uncomfortable. In return, she will also shower you expensive gifts. The lioness may become a little arrogant and proud at times, but these are some of her basic personality traits. She cannot help thinking of herself above the normal masses and please don't tell her she's not.

You will break her big, warm heart. A Leo woman who is respected, loved and cherished will become one of the most agreeable as well as the kindest person on this earth. She will care for the children and help the needy. The lioness is a combination of intelligence, wit, strength and talent, mixed with generous amounts of feminine charm. This is what makes her irresistible. The best way to make her do anything is flatter her and she will even do the tiniest of chores for you. Never stop her from having a career after marriage.

It will keep her busy, happy and contended. She will be the best wife and the perfect hostess, who knows how to charm the guests. Leo women are not very careful about money and you will have to restrain her in this aspect. She can indulge in extravagance to fulfill her desire for exquisite furnishings, home décor, gifts for friends or even her own clothes. However, one thing is for sure, neither her home nor she will ever look ordinary. Her taste may be a bit expensive, but it is also excellent. Leo females make affectionate mothers.

They love and pamper their children silly, but also demand respect from them. They will be disciplined and have impeccable manners. Leo woman will be proud of you as well as her children. She wants her independence and will give you yours too. At the same time, she is extremely jealous and possessive and even the slightest suspicion can make her go mad. So, better not try to play the jealousy invoking tricks on her. She doesn't warm up to strangers, but she will not give them the cold shoulder also.

Leo women are very popular amongst the opposite sex and they like to receive male attention and compliments. So, you will get plenty of reasons to be jealous. Remember that all this assures her that she is good enough, but she will always be in love with you. With the Leo girl, you have to maintain a difficult balance. Don't let her control you, but then don't make her feel dominated too. If you manage to do all this, you will be getting the love of a woman most of the other men just dream about!

1.2 Lbs Lossed

I am actually okay with the weight loss. I was extremely busy all week. And, even though I worked out four days I didn't do my best. But, I am also positive I lossed inches this week. I was telling Larry that I could see it in the clothes I wear and the clothes I tried on at the store. So, while it's not the 5 pounds like last week....it is a weight loss. Again, I am headed in the right direction.

She stood in the storm. And, when the win did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails....

So this the new me. I am definitely wearing smaller clothes now....which in itself is awesome and amazing.

The focus is definitely the toning up part now. I must continue to improve on that. I didn't realize there would be stretch marks either....but, common sense probably should have kicked in on that one. 

The goal is to improve me from the inside out. Well, I definitely had done that.

I have grown up. I have a new mentality and approach to life to go along with the new exterior. Just once I would like to wear that two piece with flat abs. I am definitely getting there. 

I finally talked to Weight Watchers on Saturday. They said, my weight goal should be between 124-155. Yeah, right!! I can tell you, I will not reach that first number. Will not!!! That would absolutely be too small....even for me. We will see where I end up. 

5 Lbs Lossed

A really good week. I just it would be. I could feel the weight loss and the inches. The journey all be it rough sometimes....has been well worth it.

Improvement & Progress Are The Operative Words

Been Working Out!!

Marvin Sapp - My Testimony

Wonderful Quote....

All I know is this...If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one

No Weight Loss This Week

I don't know if I am disappointed or not.I guess with this being the holiday weekend/week I did okay. But, I must exercise more I think. And, I always say that but, then I stay with the same routine. Even though I feel so much better, I think now comes the hard part.

I am going to focus on the failure this week...gonna focus on what I can do this week to realize some weight loss. I think I will be more strict with intake and not do a lot of different things but, Lean Cuisines.

It so much easier to keep track of things that way.

Yep...changed my mind. I am disappointed. I would like to know on a consistent basis that I am working on my health and realizing my goal. This week was a set back but, I will definitely do better.

The New Me....

Been a long road....but, it finally hit me this week....this picture. I have done it. I have re-invented myself physically. Some work to be done. But, from where I come from this is amazing to me.

The lady at the Weight Watchers Meeting told me I do not look like I weighed that kind of weight. I am not sure what the means....but, I know this...it made me feel better. It made me feel proud. I still have big arms. And, I still want more definition in my thighs and in my abs....but the hard work has paid off. And, make no mistake I have worked out as hard as I think should have. But, I have stayed the course. I have stayed consistent and stayed away from those tempting foods. I have wanted to reward myself but, I have not taken the chance.

All of my skirts are now lose. I have a few blouses/shirts that fit me but, for the most part they are too big too. I have exceeded the holes on my belts....so, it's time to replace them. My feet have gotten smaller. Crazy is how I have to describe this. I have lose weight before. And, I have loss more than 68 pounds. But, this by far is the best time. I needed this for better health...for more confidence and pride.

Wow!! That's all I can say. This picture says it all.

5 Pounds Loss

A good weight loss this week. I was very proud of myself. 
It is so good for my psyche to know my actions can render results. Especially in this case where I am trying to meet a goal. A huge goal at that.

So, 66 pounds so far. I set my goal at 83 pounds. It's becoming harder and harder to keep up the consistency....the pace of intaking the right foods every day...every hour of the day.

I must admit there have been times when I wanted to fall off the wagon.

I stayed to a Weight Watchers Meeting this Thursday and it was so good to do so. It was encouraged in the meeting to treat yourself to your favorite foods sometime. Something I have not done once. I have stayed the course and not gotten ice cream or even Chinese food. Two food items that I just really love. Maybe I should now.

But, I keep thinking the taste of that food will get me to revert back to my old habits and I don't want that when I am so close to my goal. I am trying to make that goal before my birthday. And, as it stands now I am I am losing an average of 12 pounds per month. It will be pushing it to reach that goal by July 30th....really pushing it.

But, let me document my physical feelings for a moment. I really felt proud of myself this weekend. I really felt pretty this week. I really felt small this week.

I am back to the premise that no food taste as good as skinny....NONE!!!

Feeling Good. Let's See If That Translate...

2.4 Pounds Loss This Week

I thought it would be more. But, it seems the last 25 pounds are not going to drop easily. For thoe that are around me they have heard me say this a million times. "I am tired of dieting. I am tired of watching what I eat." But, in retrospect it's a new way of life....a new way of thinking.....the only way to achieve a healthy body is to change they way I eat....the way I cook also.

But, let's focus on the positive. Reggie says, "At least you are headed in the right direction." And, he is right. Also, I feel so much better. And, I don't intake a lot of bad fat. I have come accustomed to fat free. Never thought I would say that. I love healthy snacks.

I have reduced fat crackers and wheat crackers. Crazy!!!

I am a new girl with these habits. All positive changes that makes me me....

Not Much Of A Weight Loss This Week



Not much of a weight loss this week. Somehow I have to get to the next level and attain the weight I want. I didn't think it would be this hard. I was cruising for awhile there. But, it seems I plateau every 3-4 weeks.

So, let's see how I attack this. I still say it is taxing to always focus on weight loss and what you put in your body. Especially for someone who has just not made it a consistent practice.

It's also funny how this diet has caused an eb and flow in my emotions and confidence.

But, I know I can do this. It's just figuring out the next step.

I know last week I exercise more than any other week. But, I also had a lot of pasta last week and I had a lot of Mexican.

I did feel good all week though. I felt like I was doing the right thing. I do remember Saturday and Sunday feeling like I had too much too eat. But, again, I think it was the pasta. I will do my best to focus more on the protein and vegetable. Also, I had a lot of oatmeal and added sugar. That usually does not bother me though.

I have cut back on snacks that are not 0 points. I think I faltered last week though and had a lot of things other than fruit and veggies to snack on.

Again, a re-focus is necessary.

I was in Charlotte today getting my life in order. This is what I wore. I love the look and the feel but, I didn't think it was flattering to my figure. I would love to get to the point where clothes hung well on me.

I constantly check the mirror for re-affirmation of my weight loss. Sometimes I am pleased and sometimes I am impatient that the process is going so slow.

Patience is needed.


This brown suit has been in my closet for 6 years. This week I was able to wear. A mildstone that I celebrate for sure. I never thought I would to this point. But, I have been using this suit as a barometer for my weight loss. So, maybe the pounds have not dropped this week but, the inches are definitely dropping. I will continue to find new things to try. My close are the true test. I took some pictures today. I did it in my Nike shorts and Nike Sports Bra. Now, that was am eye opening experience. I have a lot of work to do on the abs. WOW!!! I am thinking of doing the Insanity Workout. I need to add more activity. Gonna investigate that for sure.

4.4 LBS Lost

I knew I had shedded some weight. I could feel it before I went in. I visited a different location this week. I actually liked going in at 9:30am in the morning and getting the weigh in out of the way. I normally don't eat anything before weigh in. And, doing it at 12:15 on Tuesdays or 6:00pm on Wednesday was treacherous to say the least.

But, I also like the class on Two Notch. A more livelier bunch. The kind of women who congratulated you and gave their own testimonies. I think I will visit that one again.

Also, we got the workout challenge this time and some new literature with Jennifer Hudson on the cover. Wow, she has gotten really small.

For a moment I was getting complacent and thinking I was at the end of the journey. But, I have changed my mind. I want small like she has accomplished. I can do it....I know I can.
My Weight Loss Chart!!

Now that I am nearing my goal I am not so self conscious to tell my starting weight. Now, it has become my testimony. Awesome!!!

New handout from Weight Watchers with Ms. Hudson on the cover...

Reaching My Goal

Well, I have continued the focus. I have made it through the holiday weekend without making a mess of my eating habits. I have found a happy medium with my wants and my needs of certain foods. I think I stay hungry but, I make really good choices now. And, I eat all the time. The difference is I intake food that have no points most of the day but, make me really full for a period of time. I love having success with this. I feel like I am winning...like I am improving my lookz and my health. And, that is exactly what I set out to do. When I tell people how much weight I have loss they can't believe it. They stare. With only 20 something more pounds to go...now comes the hard part. Maintenance....staying the course.

I am ready though. I have learn it all starts in two places....at the grocery store and what I purchase to take home. And, with my energy level and making sure I workout. No more excuses...the time for a better me is now.

2.4 Pounds Lost

On another level now. Excited to get dress. To excited to by new clothes. I must slow down with that for sure. But, I am now looking for new ways to eat healthy. I am looking for new ways to exercise. And, I am always in search of great taste but, not an exorbant about of calories and fat. Today, I purchase wheat crackers and reduced fat crackers. Unheard of five months ago.

So, it seventeen weeks now and 54 pounds lost. I was a size 22 when I started and I purchase size 12's and Mediums this week. Wow, what a change.

I received my 50 pound lost pin. I am wearing it on a necklace.

And, now let's talk about looks from the opposite sex. Amazing how weight is the number common denominater. People respect and admire smaller people. People give you more credit when you look healthy.

Whatever the reason is for the new found attention. I am pleased with it. But, again....amazing!!!

Lost 5 Pounds!!!

Lost .8 Pounds...

Gained .6 Pounds....Not Happy

I just have to refocus. And, I know that will be hard. But, I must forget the disappointment on focus on what I did wrong last week. And, I actually know. I had some fried food. I ate a lot of sliced ham and peanut butter crackers.

3 Pounds Loss

Not to excited this time. I am craving some real food now. It's kind of hard to stay on task. I am doing it but, it's not as easy anymore. I have to find ways to motivate myself.

Sure, I am please with the result but, I wish there was some magic wond. I guess there wasn't any magic when I was consuming more than I was burning off so....the price is consistency now.

I need to find another avenue of exercise and activity. Tough week...but, still  loss weight. 

5 Pounds Lost

A good day at Weight Watchers. I was a little down because I didn't know where my weight was. I knew for sure that I had a good week. But, just looking in the mirror I could tell a thing. Eating so many vegetables and fruit had me bloated on most ocassions this week. But, when that lady said 5 pounds I started to cry.

And, this is the first week that I have deviated from my normal Tuesday @ 11:45 am meeting. I was not feeling myself so I waited for the Wednesday @ 6:00 pm meeting.

So many times this past week I was down on the process. Thinking of ways I could kick start my matabolism. I was thinking that I needed to increase my exercise. But, I just didn't consider all of the activity and exercise I had gotten from the delivering food and going up and down the stairs. And, once I prepared it loading it in the car and the unloading it. And, there were a couple of days when I could not fit my lunch and dinner in. Time was a problem and....I had snacked on so much fruit and vegetable I had made til dinner with just oatmeal or cereal, lots of fruit, and some crackers.

I know without a doubt that's probably not the most nutrious way of going about it. But.....desperate times call for desperate measures.

I was so happy coming home from Weight Watchers. I felt like my work...my efforts had been validated. I was after all on the right track.

So, I have lost 42 pounds now since Feb 1st. My goal is the get to 50 pounds lost by May 1st. That maybe too lofty of a goal but....I am certainly going to try.

This is without a doubt the best I have felt and looked since 2005. Amazing that I treaded water and didn't put my foot forward all those years.

2 Pounds Lost

Definitely not feeling my best. I must I have to give myself credit for making it through Easter without giving in. And, I cooked. I baked a Ham. I did greens with turkey necks. I did yellow rice with sausage in it and, some rolls. It looked and smell good. But, I did not touch it until I weighed on Tuesday. And, then I enjoyed the greens and turkey necks only. I eventually had to freeze the ham and give the rest away. It was well worth the effort. Any weight loss is better than none. I made it through a holiday.

I loved this outfit. And, I thought it looked good on my. Now, it didn't make me feel as shapely as I wanted it too....but, I was very pleased with the look, the sandals, and the nails done. I also thought my make up turned out pretty good. Definitely a step in the right direction of regaining my gracefulness.

Go me!!! I am so glad I decided to set the bar a little bit higher that I had it. I was feeling good on some days but, far from looking it. A new standard....and being consistent has changed my life.

2.8 lbs Loss....

Well, I didn't like the feeling on April 3rd. Even the loss an additional 2.8 pounds I was really tired of the process Tuesday. I just wanted a day not think about what's going in my body. Thankfully I did not deviate from the regiment. I stayed the course. But, nine weeks and 34.8 pounds loss since.....can be an exhausting task. It finally caught up with me. It seems the more I lose the more I realize how much I had gained and what a humungus goal I had set for myself.

I didn't take a picture on Tuesday. I decided to wait. I wasn't feeling smaller. I wasn't feeling my best.

But, today...Thursday and I realizing how much of a difference that amount of wait makes. Wow, I feel so much better. My clothes are so loose.

I heard this at Weight Watchers on Tuesday....

"It is nice to go shopping in your own closet. I was tired of settling on something to wear solely based off of the size and fit alone." 

It is revelation for me too. So many things I had purchase with a disillusioned eye and thought process. I never thought I was as big as I was. But, I was. And, I rationalized my size every day to make myself feel better. Well, now I really feel good. I really continue to be proud of myself.

And, this can get old. But, the daily reward is above all the other things that I feel.

Reality Check Yesterday....

 Was thinking that I was smaller than I was. But, the truth is I am a 14 or 16. Now, that's a far cry from being a 20-22 just 9 weeks ago. But, it is also a far cry from being where I want to be....and where I thought I was for a moment.

It's a good reality check though. That will push me...

Not Feeling My Best

I am still pleased with the progress. My problem is I keep looking for signs of weight loss on a daily basis. Even when I know this is a marathon and I need to worry about the progress once a week. If I continue to be consistent the weight loss will come. Again....a marathon.

I am getting a little bored with my diet though. I need to give is some variety. I am stuck with the oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast. And, from there it's a Lean Cuisine for lunch and dinner. I venture off into Graham Crackers and Saltines as snacks. And, I eat all of the fruit and veggies I can stand so long as there is no added sugar or oil/fat to veggies.

I am still very surprised that I have been able to last 8 weeks without ice cream or additional sugar period. No sugar drinks....just grapefruit juice and water.

Can I do this forever....no. But, there are some aspects of it that I can hold on to that will help increase my matabolism in the future.
Today was the first day in quite some time that I didn't completely enjoy what I had on. I have to be patient about that. Even my clothes is a gradual process. There is no way to look any smaller than I am . I must continue the process one day at a time.

Comparison

My first look at the difference. Wow, what motivation this is. I was huge. And, no matter how nice I dressed I was still huge. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to do better. Food was my everything. It is what I lived for. Now, I eat food to be healthy.

I needed to do this today. I am glad I found two pics so that depicted this glaring change in my life....in my body. I felt the difference but the two pics side by side tell the story. God is good.I remember this black jacket. I filled it out in the arms. It was tight on me. And, I actually thought I looked good in it. I am no longer a XXL in anything unless I just choose to buy it. Now comes the hard part. And, that is to continue to be consistent and boring. Stay on the right track. Eat healthy. Purchase healthy. And, eat often and small....

I can't wait for another day to see how my body changes.

3.8 LBS Lost

I was sure of the weight loss. I knew going in that I had lost weight. I could feel it. I could see it. I can tell you the people around me who have no will power are now getting jealous. When I first started this journey there was a lot of positive feedback. But, once I said, "Since Feb. 1st, I have lost 32.2 pounds." Their comment was, "Now you are bragging." Well, hell yeah I am bragging. Any weight loss at all is an accomplishment. I use to be on the other side of this saying next Monday is the day....and then next Monday again...and then well, I will start at the first of the year. Now, I have been saying the first of the year since 2004....yes 2004. But, now I have a hold of it. And, I am not letting go. I understand the balance of food, stress, and social eating. They all play apart in my life. I am not one of those who has a matabolism out of this world. I have to accept that and eat what I want in moderation.  But, getting back to my fake support. So be it...just because you choose to be closer to 400 lbs with no signs of turning it around. And, make no mistake, people are happier when their misery has company...............................................................Well, no more compnay. You are on your own.

What's so wonderful is....each day is a new day to attack it and get better....lose more. And, even after 32 lbs....I still have 40 to do to be a respectable size and weight.

All the rest that are not in my corner....keep it moving.

Weigh In Tomorrow

But....today is the smallest I have felt since I started this journey. And, I have realized this is truly a journey. I have thought of all the things that come with being smaller but, I forgot how this is....how tough it is to be consistent. It's tough to stay on track and stay focus. Your only reward late at night when your stomach is growling it knowing that the end of the rainbow is worth and getting closer. The feeling is amazing. I don't hide from mirrors now.


And, the best line I have heard is...."I have gone from have to....to want to." What a difference. I look forward to stuff in my closet. I look forward to shopping. I have gone from a 22 to a 14 and still progressing. 


My face has slimmed tremendously. I have a face. And, I have gone from XXL tees to XL. Thank God for giving me the strength to initiate this journey....to continue....and to realize this is the only way to long term health. Again...what was I thinking before? Amazing!

2.4 lbs

This time I don't really see it. I can feel it in my arms and legs though. And, any weight loss is good. It is better to see that than know for sure your weight going up and feeling it when you put on clothes.


I ate cabbage and shrimp a lot last week. Even though I know it was low in fat it was hard to judge portions. And, when you are hungry, I have found that it is good to have prepared meals on hand when you are hungry. There is less cheating that way. And, it is so much better to know exactly what you had and to know that is your allotted portion at that time. 


I continue to be encouraged. I can continue to see a difference. I continue to make progress in the right direction. I really think this is so cool. My confidence is soaring and look at other women struggling with their weight and wonder when they will make the decision to live healthier. I include a lot of water in my diet now. I had some Vitamin Water today and it seem so sweet. I am now going on 7 weeks with no sweets. None! And, that in itself is a minor miracle. I love chocolate. I love a good cheesecake....and I love sweets. But, those sweets did not love my body.


Wow! What a change I have made....I pray I can persevere and continue down this path. 

3.4 Pounds Lost....

I was definitely surprised at the lost this week and encourage. I didn't think I had a good week. But,  as I continue down this journey I now know consistency is the key. I continue to feel better and different and healthy. No amount of food can replace the healthy me. 

And, important revelation for me. I am glad I am doing the pictorial history. It gives me a chance to see the difference. I made excuses for my look at the higher weight. But, OMG!! What was I thinking. I look younger and feel younger. And, just blogging this and looking at the progress is giving me motivation. Gonna get it tomorrow with some exercise. 

I have to get better with. The problem is I talk myself out of it every time. And, then I have success on the scale....so it's hard to reason with results. But, if I exercise more often just think of the results. 

So proud though. I have changed my eating so drastically. And, I have found there are so many options that I really love to eat that so much better for me. To God be the glory on this one for giving me the strength....

Very Confident....

I loved this look on me today. Made me feel better.

Today was a good day. Still feel good. Need to increase cardio although I have done better than last week.

I wish the people around me would do better about their eating habits but, I am determined to keep doing the right thing, And, at the top of my list is to continue to improve my eating habits. They were atrocious.

I keep saying I am going to reward myself with a treat of some sort for my minor success. But, each week of improvement and additional weight loss just makes me want to continue to lose more and stay on the right path.

I don't have the taste for things like I use to. I don't have those chocolate cravings like I use to. And, it was nothing for me at one point to have a candy bar a day. Or to eat a lot of cookies and a candy bar. And, I would bake a cake and eat a piece or two daily until it was gone.

And, I just realized no french fries for six weeks now. Wow, I love them. But, they don't love me.

And, someone told me if I would just continue to improve upon my diet I could add ten years to my life.  I do know I was tired all of the time. I was putting too much stress on my heart. I was a health risk/mess all in one.

My Update....

I am continuing to improve. I love knowing if I keep up this particular eating pattern the weight continues to fall off. I feel different every day. I see the difference in my clothes. I had given up on having a waist. Oh wow....how powerful it is to write that and to read that.

I tried on jean shorts I couldn't get over my thighs five weeks ago and now they just slide right on. Same thing with a skirt.

I added the belt to a suit yesterday and actually wore it all day.

I AM CHANGING FOR THE BETTER!!!

I am getting attention from people just a few weeks ago who wouldn't turn their head.

My legs look better. I also need new bras. I love the continual transformation back to myself. Powerful statement again.

I now look at people who are my size or bigger and wonder what their thought process is/was? Are they feeling the way I felt. Are they thinking of making a change?

I also ask, "Why did I not take a stand earlier than this?" I didn't for whatever reason. But, it is so cool to do so now. So cool.....

4.4 LBS

Five weeks now. And, a total of 22.8 pounds lost. If you had asked be about that type of lost when I started I would have been ecstatic. But, now that i am in the midst of it....it doesn't seem like much in the overall scheme of things. 


I was definitely pleased with the weight loss. I was thinking around two pounds. I did not exercise again. So, I want to put my focus on that again. I have to do better where that is concern. 


I can tell a difference in the rain coat I wore today. The arms and chest area use to be so tight in the coat. Not anymore. 


Now, I keep saying when I hit this mark or that mark I will treat myself. But, so far sticking to the routine seems to be the most rational thing to do. My regiment is yielding me results. Why should I mess that up for a craving. 


I am without a doubt pleased with myself and the new look that is evolving.
