Goal!

I have reached a milestone! I am now 225, that is what I weighed when Gordon proposed almost 15 years ago. The great thing is I was wearing a size 22 then. I just bought size 16 jeans for summer! I was wearing size 16 when I was in high school. It feels great and I love my energy. I am really trying to get to 199 next. That seems so unreal to me but I am going to keep going. Just to log the numbers my heaviest weight was 308 and that means my total loss is 83 pounds and when I started this journey on the 24th of May last year I was 286 so my loss since then is 61. I am excited with those numbers but mostly excited to be out of the 30s and into the 20s.

Moving Forward

I am pretty excited today. I have felt like I was not doing as well as I would like and have been pretty bummed. There is a lot of stress at home and I am not sleeping as well as I should so I felt stuck. However, today I weighed myself to see if I had gained and I have actually lost 3 pounds! I lost the 3 pounds that I gained over christmas and now I am at 233 and 34 pounds from 199! I can do it and there is no looking back or resting! I am Dorie, "just keep moving, just keep moving" (name that movie)

New Beginnings

I am excited to start the new year. I have been coasting through the holidays but I am really looking forward to this new year. I have set a goal to lose 37 pounds by July 1st. That will put me below 200 for the first time since high school and just in time for my in-laws 50th anniversary party! It will be fun to see everyone that I haven't seen in a while and let them see the new me! Hope you are setting goals and sticking to them. It really feels good!
