  • 50lbs DOWN!

    I am 50lbs down as of this morning! I have hit a huge milestone. It was a number that pops up occasionally, and you know, I would say to myself, "Now that would be pretty impressive"
    It's put a spark in my day. I know I can't control numbers where my body is concerned, I can control the ounces I drink, the carbs I eat and the pounds I lift and the milage I cover. But I cannot control when a pound comes off or lingers or reappears and then goes up...
    As this life has grown on me, numbers mean less and less and lifestyle means more and more. Attitude means more, visualization, memorization, plans and preparations means more. Being here and active, and giving and paying it forward mean more than numbers...
    But today, I must admit, happily that the number means a whole heck of a lot!!!!
    Now, my new "now would'nt that be impressive" number, IN THE 150's, when I hit 50...on March 14th!

                            Your attitude is great
                            I know the one thing that made me successful my first time around was.. I didn't own a scale, and dieted for approx 4 months before I weighed in.

                            You got it, keep it up
