Week 16

I'm so close to the 40 pound weight loss goal!  I am one of those people who jumps on the scale every chance they get.  I know, I know, I know.... you're not supposed to but I do anyway!  Last week I was extremely dehydrated and the scale said I was down 39.9lbs, only .1 to go!  I knew as soon as I resumed drinking water the scale would bounce back up, and it did.  I have 2.6lbs to go, I am secretly hoping I'll get on the scale next week and those pounds will be GONE!  However, I'm going to Hat Island with my dear friend and neighbor and I'm sure there will be some Patron consumed.  I'll be diligent about my diet and get lots of exercise! 

Week 14 & 15

I missed my week 14 update as I was traveling and was having issues with access my blog on my iPad.  I wasn't too upset about that since I had a gain of 1.4 pounds in week 14.  After a week of too much food, wine, vacation, then a trip to Little Rock for work I wasn't shocked when the scale was not being nice to me.  I wasn't being very nice to my body.... fair is fair!

Week 15, I made nice with my body and the scale rewarded me with a loss of 6 pounds!  I only have 3.4 pounds more to reach my 40!  My next goal is going to lose another 20 by 7/20/12!  If I can keep up my current pace I'll be on track to lose 30 but I don't want to set a goal too high then be disappointed if I don't reach it.

One accomplishment I am really proud of is a 5 mile run I completed on 4/13.  I am loving being able to run pain free again!  Too much weight = lots of back pain.  I am a runner again!

Week 13

Another -4.3 gone! I'm at Hat Island on vacation and have been really good about watching what I eat but have been indulging in wine every day. I have been trying to exercise daily to earn a loss this week.

March results from Hat Island

Hello from blustery Hat Island! March was good to me, I'm now down 32 pounds which means I have 8 more to go! I'll have to come up with another goal once I reach the 40. I am loving the 10 pounds per month average. I hope I don't blow it this week in my happy place. I got up and did some work outside and went for a walk, more like a stroll. I love beach treasurers!
