sacrifice leads to rewards

While I was a little bummed about not going on the float trip this weekend, today's visit to the center reminded me why it was the best choice. The scale read 199.2, this is 1.6 lbs down from Friday's visit!!! I can guarantee you that had I gone on the float, that number would be in the other direction. This is also .4 lbs less than what I weighed before the "big gain".

Let this be proof to you my friends that with hard work and dedication things can be accomplished. With the total loss being 18.8 lbs in just over 4 weeks, I am pretty excited at the progress. I even am noticing it in my clothes again. Pants that I purchased a month or so ago that were snug (and I mean SNUG) are now fitting almost on the baggy side.

Only 34.2 more lbs to go until the end goal, but for now we will focus on the next milestone. 19.8 lbs until I hit "mile-marker" #1. With that I have decided to celebrate by going and getting my hair done. Fancy pants cut & color (that costs more than $14). I am in the process of searching for my new look. Photos to come for voting. :o)

In the mean time I am off to make dinner...chicken! Happy eating my friends!
