Believe....

Well the last time I posted was bit over a month ago...  With Thanksgiving fast apporching wanted to give you an update on where I am so far...  When on Oct. 15th I was down 65.2 lbs wow didn't know what a fight I would have ahead of me...

I have had to learn to go with the flow a bit more too...  I was hoping to be way further down my road by now but once again I have had to slow down and listen to God..  I have always wanted to push myself futher then I needed to at times...
To be honest sometimes its hard for me to give up control stop wanting things sooner than what is good for me...  It has also taught me to be more humble toward my weigh loss journey...
I have really had to fight for the number I recieved on the scale but I set my mind too it...

I still have a lot left to lose so I just set small goals for myself, if I look at the big picture it freaks me out a bit..  So when I left last week I wanted to be down 70 lbs by Thanksgiving (really wanted it today) so I have really worked hard this week both in food choices and working out...

So here is a recap since my last blog post:
10-22 down 2.2 lbs
10-29 up 0.4 lbs
11-5 down 0.2 lbs
11-12 down 1.2 lbs

When I first started WW I was scared to death of the holidays and all the eating that came with it...  As I have been on doing WW I have become more confident in my food choices...  We are now 3 days till Thanksgiving and I know I got this one...  No matter how it goes I will be on that scale on Monday after Thanksgiving (no skipping) for me... 

So when I left the house this morning I knew what number I wanted to see on that scale today...  I wanted to see down 1.6 lbs to make that magic 70 lbs....  I step on the scale....

Drum roll..........




WooHoo...  The number I got was down 2.6 lbs for a total loss so far of 71 lbs since January 8, 2012..
I am super excited and proud that I exceeded my goal for Thanksgiving...
