milestones flying by

i apologize for my lack of posting, i have been waiting to post this post for a few days. I was hoping on Monday I would have been able to but 1 delayed it. either way, here it is now!

after weeks of fighting myself and the holidays (by holidays i really mean cookies, drinks, and sweets which are harder to avoid than you might think) on Thursday of last week I hit 40 lbs, officially! On Monday I was down 42.5 lbs. Today when I went in I am down 45.2 lbs!!! The reason this is the milestone I wanted to post and not as much the 40 lbs (which I am not disregarding as a good milestone) is because 43.5 was the 1/2 way mark.

When I started this plan in August the goal we set for me to lose is 87 lbs. Now I am on the down slope of this giant hill. granted i have only taken a few steps down it, but we are on our way none the less. It is funny that i feel a small fear in what if i have come this far and it stops working. But so far there is no reason to see why it would just magically stop working now unless i did something to make it stop.

I am also really excited to see my numbers next week since I am on a 7 day break right now. Did i mention I hate chicken by the way? They say about the middle of the next week you see a pretty decent drop. Well at this rate I will be at 50 before we know it. Since I set a personal goal to be at 50 lbs by NYE, I have a renewed hope that I can since it is less than 5 lbs away. If it wasn't so flippin cold outside i would be running around doing back-flips. However, I don't care for snow or frost bite so instead i will curl up on the couch with tuck and watch marry poppins and wear a BIG CHEESY grin at my accomplishment.

pat on the back to me and everyone else for their help.
