Will it be the new outfit or the fetching piece of jewelry? I'll be checking around to see later this morning. Today's number? Oh, 174 and that means 20 pounds gone since January. Woohoo! My mom informed me that she's now in the 150s (she's on this trek, too). She's got five more inches on her height than me, so she's really looking slim. I believe that's 20 pounds for her as well. She's dug out all of her tens and says she's nearly in her eights (Eights? that'll be the day). ;) I'm currently in a very comfortable, loose 12 but I have yet to try on any of my tens. My mediums fit pretty well and my arms don't look as if they'll burst through like a Hulk episode.

I'm motivated and eager to see where I go. My downfall always seems to be holiday meals and fall warm-up foods. I get to around 160 and sabotage myself during these times. If I can just control it, who knows where I'll end up. Here's to hoping.

I'm sporting 176.5 pounds todays, ladies and gentleman. Granted, some of that weight loss was the result of my contracting a contagious disease that rendered me unable to eat for two days, but whatever, the number is kind. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks, I can be placing my order for those fabulous shoes. I'm too excited! Okay, calm down. Don't want to have set-backs...gotta stay focused. I haven't checked to see if I made any further goals because I'm looking at a future prize. I'll do that later this morning and report back.

(I checked. Close, but no dice. Two more pounds till I've achieved 20 pounds off. Haven't even worked out this week, yet. Ugh! Better get on it.) 04/19/07 5:45am
