Chugging along.......Still making progress

It has been a while, but exciting new this morning when I stepped on the scale........I have lost 46 pounds!!!!!  Only 4 more pounds to go by August 11 to reach my first goal.  It feels incredible!  I am very proud of myself.  I am also very thankful for all of the support from everyone along the way.  Still thinking on my second weight loss goal; what it should be, how much more weight, what timeframe.  This is really like the best birthday present I have ever given to myself.  I have grown so much in the past few months on this journey.  Some painful memories put to bed, some joyous times with my success.  I really, really think that I can do this.  I'm not sure what this is, meaning I don't have a total number that I want to lose as of yet, but I am working on that as well.

I started to exercise in the pool and was feeling so great about it, until I got a growth on my face (probably not cancer, waiting on test results) so I have been laying off of the sun for now.  I am going to have to go buy a big hat to shade my face when I'm in the pool as well as sunblock.  Trust me, this scare woke me up.  No more trying to get some sun/color.

I will let everyone know when I reach 50 pounds!!!  I have 2 more weeks.  I can't wait.

Blessings to all!

FINALLY!!!!!

Happy 4th of July to all!  Please remember that we live in the greatest country in the world and that comes with a price.  Please remember and give thanks to all the men and women who sacrifice their lives every day so we may be free!

I finally broke the 40 pounds mark in my journey!  I'm so excited!  People are really starting to notice a difference in me.  It feels really good.  I am proud of myself.  Only 10 more pounds to go to my first goal.  I am determined to lose this last 10 pounds by my 41st birthday!  It is a huge milestone.  Once I hit this goal; time to set a new goal.  I'm thinking 53 pounds.  I just don't know by when.  I would like by 2012, but that may be a little unrealistic and not enough time.  I want to set realistic goals.  I'm certain I can lose another 50 pounds, its just the date I'm not sure of yet.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Jan 25 will be my niece's 18th birthday.  Maybe that is a good date to shoot for.

Until next time.............Blessings to all!
