Feeling Great!

It's Monday again! As always I'm wishing that I had the day off to snuggle in bed with my kiddo before getting up and making toast and coffee. Snap back to the reality of a working momma and here I am! I'm at work (don't tell on me for blogging at work, I'm on break) I did have my coffee and toast but it's much less enjoyable when I don't have my kiddo across the table from me.

Let's get down to business...Blair talked today about when it "Clicked" for her. That Click that says I'm not going to be like this anymore. For me, I think it was when I finally decided to get off of my butt and join Weight Watchers. I'd dieted before with no luck, I was always falling off of the wagon and never had the motivation I needed to stay on track. Now that I've joined WW I am being held accountable for my eating habits and food choices. I'm motivated not only by the awesome friends I've made cheering me on but by the change I see in myself. The graph that shows my loss is also amazing, I love it when I get stars for 5 pound goals being met. I got a huge purple star yesterday for reaching my second 5 pound loss and I loved it. Think of it like grade school and getting a star on the star chart for good behavior :-) yes I am a nerd. I'm so happy that I've finally decided to take control over my body and health.  
 
I am happy to say that I lost another pound this week! I'm so happy about being in the 140s even if I am a half a pound away from being back in the 150s. 149.5 is alright by me! I have officially lost 10 pounds and I am so proud of myself for reaching this goal. I would never have thought I could do it 2 months ago and the fact that it's gradual is even better. I know most people don't think so but this means I'll be more likely to keep it off!

I'm able to fit into some clothes that I had packed away for a garage sale, I'm SO glad I didn't get rid of them yet because it's like shopping in my own closet ha-ha. As you already know, I'm very much looking forward to the new me that will be able to proudly wear shorts. Has anyone seen the cheerios commercial of the women stretching and saying "Shorts, Tanks Tops, Swim Suit" thats totally me.

I'm feeling great this week, I know it will be tough this weekend being in Houston but I have confidence that I can stick to my points and stay on track.

How did your week go? Did you reach a goal? Do you have anything to share? I love to hear about y'all :-) so feel free to share!
