Texas Weight...

Well, I'm in Texas and have been for over a week. My class reunion is this Saturday and Sunday and I'm pretty sure I made it to the 15 lb weight loss goal. In fact, my mom's scale said I weighed 112 this morning. Now, her scale is different than mine, so it's not as good as it looks. BUT... her scale is 5 lbs less than a Dr. scale, so that would put me at 117 on the Dr. scale. My scale at home is 3 lbs less than a Dr. scale, which would put me at 114 on my scale! That's improvement! We'll see when I get home if I've actually lost weight, but my shorts are DEFINITELY loose, and I'm fitting into size 6 jeans. Mostly I'm just excited that people are noticing that I've lost weight. I feel confident and I feel like I look good. It's been a LONG time since I felt that way! In fact, I'm going to wear a halter dress to my reunion. That's a confidence I haven't felt in a long time!

I'm not counting calories while I'm here in Texas, but I am trying to be at least somewhat moderate in what I eat. I've definitely been splurging more and not eating as healthfully as I do at home, but will be right back on the SparkWagon when I'm home a week from today. So for right now I'm enjoying the break and relishing the fact that I'm a size 6!!

Oh yeah...

Did I mention that I lost another pound? Yeppers, I'm at 117. Happened yesterday and I'm pretty happy about that! Two pounds to go...

Weigh Day - Week....

... what week are we on? I don't know, but I'm still at 118.

Photo Update

Here's what I looked like at Dara's wedding a couple weekends ago. I think I was at 119 here, so it's pretty accurate of what I look like now, too.

It's sort of like a rain dance....

I went for a walk this afternoon, but the weather seemed to think I was doing a rain dance. I walked around the Cobblestone subdivision (a six mile walk!) and made it about a half mile from our house before it started raining! The rain is GOOD, but I was drenched by the time I got back. Still, 6 miles in 1.25 hours isn't bad! It used to take me that long to walk 2 miles...

Back on the wagon again!

I'm back on the SparkWagon again! Since Thursday I've been tracking calories, drinking my water, and getting at least 30 min cardio in daily. I am bound and determined to lose 3 lbs by September 1st so that I'm down to 115 by the reunion! 110 would have been nice, but 115 is where I'm aiming right now. That will be a 16 lb loss this summer. So I'm back on the wagon again!
