Week 13 Weigh In BIG TIME NEWS

Once again I find myself playing catch up.  I have a legitimate reason for being AWOL however, I have been SICK!  What the Urgent Care doctor believed on Wednesday to just be 'a bad cold' turned into an upper respiratory, lung hacking up nightmare.  I am coughing up crap finally but for 2 days have just been miserable with the dry coughing that never ends.  So anyway, here are the last 2 weigh ins!

Week 12 Weigh In : -1.4lb for the week and a total of -16.6lb.  Yay me!  That was great to see after the disappointing trip related gain the week before.

Week 13 Weigh In : -3.8lb.....if you're fast with your math then you'll realize what that means before I can type it!  That's right folks, -20.4lbs total!  I HIT MY 20 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is such a huge excitement for me.  It always seems like after that first 20lb is gone I really start to fly.  I'm seeing results both in my naked body and in my clothing, I'm getting positive feedback from others on how they can see the difference and my cheer section went wild with excitement for me yesterday when I posted my loss on Facebook.  I'm so so happy!  Especially since that means I'm only 8lb away from my 10% goal.  It felt like I'd never get there and now I'm so close.  I want that keychain and I want it bad!!!  I'm hoping to reach that goal by Mother's Day, that gives me somewhere around a month.  In 3 weeks I'll get my Sticking With It (16 weeks on plan) charm and somewhere in the next couple weeks I'll hit 25lb and get my first metal circle charm for my keychain.  SO SO SO EXCITING!  My blog will be ablaze with happy posts :)  For now I will leave you with this.  This is what I see when I log onto etools and track my weigh ins.  Isn't it fun seeing that line go down down DOWN?!
