Looking forward 30!

Everything begins to run together after awhile, for instance if it's been 6 weeks or 7 weeks, how much water I've had or what I still need...but ironically enough when I sit and think about things...of course I remember. This new process has been a way of life now and that's so exciting.

BUT what's even more exciting is being 1 pound away from losing 30 pounds. 30 pounds...if you would of asked me 6 weeks ago I wouldn't of thought I would be at this place. But I am and that's a blessing. One day at a time and making the best of every situation! Happy Friday.

Readers beware..

So I've wanted to eat a pizza, a bowl of ice cream, anything chocolate-doesn't matter. MAN the cravings lately have been out of control. My dad bought a pizza the other night from Kraus Pizza-those of you who live in Northeast Ohio will know what I'm talking about. It's got to be the worst pizza for you, but it's SO good. Well it took everything I have to just walk past and not even give it a second thought. But then I thought about it.....that's where the trouble comes in because I begin to let it be in my thought process for the rest of the night. BUT I didn't give in, I ate my veggies like I always do and measured everything out-and survived.

That's the norm now, I might have little flair ups from time to time, but I don't give in. Everyday moving away from the old habits I once had, feeling better and better-makes me not want to go back-ever. The clothes are getting less tight and I like not laying on the floor hoping these pants would zip! Don't get me wrong-I'll do that when I have a smaller pair that I know I'll eventually get in too. :) Not my life anymore and that feels great!

Weight loss: -1 pound

In it to win it.

I don't know why I chose the title I did this morning-but it seemed to be the phrase that goes over and over in my head when I start to doubt myself. I've already been in this for a month and it's going to be 6 weeks Saturday, I'm in this-no matter what. The no matter what part came this morning when I stepped on the scale and had no change. I thought maybe jumping up and down on it would help...kidding I didn't do that. :) (not to worry, some of you just pictured yourselves jumping up and down on your scales) It's a positive because I haven't gained anything, but it gets frustrating because I want to see this number go down. I'm 3 pounds away from hitting -30 pounds and that's important. I look at every pound as very important of course but this morning for some reason I just wanted to say "Let them go already!"

All will happen in due time, I'll continue to stay the course. Make it a great day.

Sure enough

I was starting to wonder if everything that is going on around me and in my life was having a hold on my weight loss? But this morning I lost a pound (finally!!) and realized that I am still moving in the right direction. WHOO HOO. Over the weekend I attended a baseball game with my best friend. It had to of been one of the hottest day's so far this year. I have the sunburn to prove this...maybe I'll post pictures later.

But anyways-it was such a hot day and the place of course was crowded. We took our seats and about 4-5 rows down from where we where sitting was a larger couple. They walked in after we did. I found myself watching the people around them and realized that we are such mean people. The people around them where annoyed and kept snickering through out the game. It broke my heart and made me mad all at the same time. Eventually the couple left before the game was even over....another reminder to me that no matter what people look like, we all have those same feelings and emotions. Some people just need to grow up!

It's been interesting

Yesterday was pretty interesting. I was outside for the majority of the day and the other part, riding in the car. It was hot! 87 degrees where I was most of the day and I felt that the more I drank water the more I sweat and I couldn't find a happy balance-so I don't think I had enough water yesterday. But all in all, I stuck to the plan but it was so hard not to be tempted.

There was also stress, my grandmother who lives in VA went into the hospital. They believe she had a stroke..at this point we're waiting to hear what the dr. has to say. My mom has gone down to be with her. Hopefully we'll hear more today.

Life is never dull and you never know what twists and turns you'll be facing-but one thing is for sure God is good all the time.

Have a good memorial day!
