YAAAAYYY! I am so happy I nearly cried telling my husband this morning that I had met my first goal weight. It is an amazing thing to accomplish and I am so proud of myself. But, I also know that I am only in the beginning stages of the battle and have a loooonnnnggg way to go before my ultimate goal of 180. (which will be re-evaluated once I get to that weight depending on my health and appearance at that weight, but it is a starting point ultimate goal- cause I have no idea what it will even look like!) But, am that much closer. And the battle doesn't seem so huge considering i have lost over ten pounds since the beginning of this month and close to 25 since I left Mankato. I'm tempted to try on an old pair of size 17/18 maurices jeans... but I think it might be a little soon for that. The end of next month I will try.
So, I am rewarding myself for this weight loss- not by eating something really bad for me (which is really flipping tempting-Hello Buffalo Wild Wings!), but by spending this fab. fall day with my little family. Tom and I are going to go to the Apple Orchard! Gonna pick out some pumpkins and some apples and enjoy the fall. Then, we are headed to City High's 70th b-day celebration so Tom can mingle with old teachers and hopefully maybe even talk one into letting him come volunteer for awhile so he can get those volunteer hours for his teaching program. I am so proud of that man- he has been plugging away on his thesis, doing well in his classes, working major overtime and bringing in major bank to help us pay down our dept and even make a hefty investment in savings. Life is good. I am blessed. What a beautiful day!!!
Intake: not determined for the day- but lunch will be fish and french fries and peas (fish and chips! yay!)
Weight: 237.8 :)
Next goal 230 pounds by Oct. 31st
