Okay its nothing to get overly excited about but on Sunday I weighed in at 151.2 and last night I came in at 150.8...just .4 lbs lost but here's the kicker....this is the lowest I have weighed in a long time, beating my prior lowest weight and this puts me at 18.8 pounds to lose....not 19.2. The difference between seeing a 18 and a 19 is tremendous! I totally blank out the decimals and just looks to good to be true, am I actually seeing results.
Coming up I think I am going to see if Sami, my cubicle buddy in this dreary office would like a running buddy at lunch. She just started running and it would be great to have someone around to motivate me and she would probably welcome the company.

Goal Week #11
If had been blogging right along this would be my 11th week of goal setting. I had to put this to the wayside to focus on school but I have only 3 days left and 5 assignments so here I am again. Not much traffic but I hope anyone reading got something out of my babbling.
So what I have I been doing the last 6 weeks you ask? Well besides school, we are in full tax season mode and I have added an extra 7-10 hours to my work week to be able to meet the tax deadline with over half the tax returns assigned to me done. Through it all I have finally curbed my cravings and my overeating habits. I have had some chocolate, but it took me 2 weeks to eat it all and I have had some extra helpings here or there but always of crisp lettuce, I love me a good salad. Had fast food a couple times, but I didn't feel guilty. I have been enjoying food more now that I have slowed down to really taste it.
With school over at the end of the week I plan to kick week 12 off to a great start by breaking out the stroller and going walking everyday with my son. We have a great little park nearby where we can laugh and run or we can head to the other side of town to play on the slides and swings. With spring arriving a few weeks back I have been itching to get out more. Having a few extra hours of sunlight helps as well. There is so much cleaning to do to get ready for spring and summer BBQ, I will be busy for quite some time.
I am down to 151.2, still over 19 pounds to go until I am at my goal weight. I am feeling better about myself and the direction I am heading in. I am proud of myself, something I haven't been in awhile. Going to keep on doing what I have been.
