Weight Loss

No, I haven't had any!

I had some film developed the other day that was from the Teenager's 8th grade graduation not quite two years ago. In those pictures I was about 30 pounds lighter than I am now. Why? I was eating better and exercising a lot and not dealing with a thyroid issue.

Looking at those pictures was a real eye opener for me. I looked so great! I can't believe I let myself get this way again! I am going to lose this weigh. For the last time. Starting first thing tomorrow morning. I am going to exercise. I am going to eat right. I want to lose weight and be healthy! I am going to set some mini goals for myself and I am going to be writing about my journey here.

My first mini goal is to exercise every day from tomorrow through the day before Easter. My reward for this goal is going to be getting my hair colored and highlighted. After I achieve this goal, I'll post another.

I will not tell you how much I weigh, but I will say that I need to lose about 55 pounds to be at a good weight for me. I'm not going to look at the big number as a whole, but make mini goals to get myself where I want to be. I can do this!
