accomplishing goals...

last night I accomplished one of the goals on my list for 2011... keep up with my weight loss journey. It's taken me a little over 7 months to lose 30 pounds & reach my goal weight.  When I went to my weigh in last night I thought I *may* have gotten there, but last week seemed to be a little more of a struggle for me.  I felt like I wanted to snack all.the.time!  Ugh, I've realized though, over the course of these months, that I have days or weeks like that & I just have to keep talking myself through it & move on from it.  Sometimes I do go overboard, but I've definitely found that on those days even if I don't feel bad mentally about what I've eaten, my body certainly does.  I end up feeling horrible because my body has become accustomed to this new life I've created for it & it loves to tell me it doesn't want to go back! I went this morning to the WW website & entered my weight from last night... boom! 6 more points to my daily allowance. That's great... a little scary, because I was just getting nice & settled into my routine.  But even better?  Although I've been going to meetings for 7 months, I've been using the online tools for about 3 years now.  It keeps track of everything since you've started with the program... & the final number for me? 49. 49 pounds lost. holy crap!  sorry... just had to say it. 

so, I'm excited to say, just 12 days into the new year... I can cross one thing off my list. Although I'm not *done* by any means, this journey is just starting really & something I'm constantly aware of as I move into my maintanance phase wish me luck finding my happy medium over the next 6 weeks.  I'll be happy to inform you when I receive my lifetime status as a WW member!  oh & another thing... although I feel like I'm a fairly motivated person & try to push myself, I am so glad to have had my sister Carol & my mom Mary {who are both going strong & lookin' great} here beside me!  If I didn't have them to go to meetings with I know I probably wouldn't be at this place today :)  Love you both :) Also thanks to all of YOU with your encouraging words & listening to my ramblings on the subject of weight loss! xoxo

...just one more thing... I know I might sound like a paid advertisement, but, really if you're thinking about WW, I have only great things to say.  This really works.  It's not a diet, you are changing your life, your lifestyle, to be one that is so much better for you & your family. enough said.

***I'll be back later for some sneak peeks of my new releases for tomorrow***
