Well in 20 minutes I'll be leaving for the Food Fest, so I wanted to just give a quick update as to what I weighed in this morning.

Weight loss: 0

Welcome to chaos...

So starts the weekend....tomorrow and Saturday I am working the Food Fest event for the kick off of the Hall of Fame week. Crazy, yes...fun, I sure hope so, tired...you better believe it. I'm actually tired just thinking about it. But the plus is that the weather should be in the 70's, so we're going to really focus it being good weather and great fun. That being said, my focus on eating right is going to be tested more then it's ever been tested since I started this. I will do my best to drink what I need to, but I'm not sure about the rest. I'll update when the weekend is over. :)

Weight loss: -1 pounds

Total Weight Loss: -62 pounds and -28.75 inches. ** I will be doing my measurements wither tomorrow morning or on Sunday..but it will totally and FINALLY get done this weekend.

Life....Insurance.....Policy

I hold one of these, a life insurance policy. I purchased it about 4 years ago when I was getting my life in order. When you apply for these you go through a medical routine to make sure you have no "serious" conditions. I didn't have "serious" conditions but the cost to own one went up because I was so overweight. I remember thinking at the time that this was my life and I now am paying extra because of the choices I made. But the part that gets me is that it took me another 4 years to realize it's time to do something about it. A few weeks ago I met with my insurance guy to talk about reducing my cost etc. He said actually losing weight and being in X category will bring your insurance cost way down. The amount he told me that I'd save blew me away. Because of changing my lifestyle and weight I could see a savings. WHY did I wait so long?

More and more we read about people who are overweight paying for extra things, extra seat on the airplane, extra seat on a bus....it's a trend. But it's not a trend that I want to have in my life. Not only is this changing my lifestyle for my health, my daughter, but it's also changing it so that I can save money. In this day saving money is so important. So I press on to the goal....

Running....

This is what this day has all been about....running and having little time to think about anything. Needless to say I haven't had enough food today...shocking to hear that, but I can tell, I am getting a headache, I was really tired this afternoon, but it was all because I didn't eat enough food today, nor have enough water. So, tonight I am making up for lost time, but not over eating or anything-just getting the water I need and making sure my body has enough food to get through the night.

I guess that's what happens when you get so busy during the day you don't remember to take care of yourself. So here's your public service announcement...take care of yourself, no matter what. :)

Hmmmm....

I'm in shock today. I'm wondering what's going on? How come my body is working with me and not against me? It's shocking, that's for sure. I got on the scales this morning and it showed that I lost another 2 pounds. So that means in 3 days I've lost 6 pounds. REALLY?!?!? I do know that last week I was doing the yo yo thing but I stuck to it and didn't get discouraged. SO it's shocking to me. I have now lost 61 pounds. I didn't get around to measuring my inches yesterday....I need to do that this week.

It is shaping up to be a really busy week. Friday and Saturday I will be working the Food Fest for the Hall of Fame kick off. Funny, food fest and I don't plan on eating anything there. But I'll sure work myself into a good work out. :)

Stay the course, keep the focus and have a fab day!

3 months!

It's 3 months today that I made the commitment to change my life for good. I feel great about this decision and the accomplishments that I have gone through and that I will go through. It's been a crazy up and down road, but overall it's been a blessing. I woke up with an even bigger surprise this morning...I lost 4 more pounds. I am now sitting 1 pound away from losing 60 pounds. 60 pounds! I don't know why every large moment I am shocked that I've made it. I've lost more weight now then I have ever lost in my life at one time. I am only 90 pounds away from being at my goal weight. 90 pounds actually doesn't sound so bad...doesn't seem like it's impossible. Anything is possible, Anything is possible when you understand who you are.

Very excited about what each day will bring! :)

Weight loss: -4 pounds
