Down a pound...

I weighed myself both yesterday and today and I am officially down to 114!! Four more pounds...

Day two...

Yesterday was good. I stayed between 1200-1400 calories, did 45 min of walking on the treadmill (6% grade, 3-3.5 mph), and drank 2 L of water. I feel pretty good about that! And when I weighed myself this morning....

115!!

So I've got 5 lbs to go in the next couple weeks. I think I can, I think I can...

New Starting Weight - 117

Today I weigh 117(.6, technically) and that is my new starting weight. About a pound of that will disappear with AF, but the other 1-1.5 pounds are my fault. Lay off the food already.

I'm back.

Yes, I am going to climb back on the weight loss band wagon and try to lose more weight. I made it down to 115 for my class reunion, but since then I haven't done anything. Anything, that is, but eat whatever I've felt like and not exercise. I'm feeling sluggish, and I'm pretty sure a couple pounds have crept back on. So, it's time for a fresh start.

I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning, weigh myself, and eat a healthy breakfast, drink some water, and take my vitamin. I resolve to drink 2 liters of water tomorrow. I resolve to count my calories and stay under 1400. And I resolve to get some exercise (45 min walking on the treadmill or at least 30 doing an exercise video).

I am back.

115

Last Wednesday I got the flu, or a similar stomach bug. Leif and I both had it. The day after I was down to 114 lbs (from 116) but I was also dehydrated. I figured I'd give it a couple days and see where my weight leveled out to. Now, I am happy to say that I have been a consistent 115 lbs on our scale for several days now! I'm officially down 16 lbs and am wearing 4's and 6's. Life is good.

He said I'm pretty!

Yes, Leif told me I was pretty on Saturday. Normally, you wouldn't think this was a big deal, but for him there is a direct correlation between how much I weigh and how pretty he thinks I am. I've finally lost enough weight that he told me I am pretty!! I've missed it and love knowing that he thinks I'm pretty again. I'm still on cloud nine about that one... *happy sigh*

Goal #2 met!

Here I am at the class reunion at 115 lbs. I am so glad I got a new dress for the event, and I love it! Robert fixed it for me by adding a shirred insert to raise the neckline. I can't believe I feel comfortable wearing a halter in public, but I do! Confidence is a beautiful thing!
