Choo Choo.....Chuggin Right Along!

Once again, I hop on here and realize how very far I've fallen behind with my blogging.  Someone give me a kick in the pants!  It has been a very busy month though.  Those of you who know me well know that I have my own business and 3 out of the last 4 weekends were spent at local craft shows.....NOT WORTH IT!  UGH, no more spring shows for me, they just don't draw the crowds...but that is for another blog.

I am proud to say I lost another 1.8lb this past week for a grand total of 23lb!  I'll post my pounds in food pic in a bit but lets just say I'm dancing on the inside...and out a little bit!  I am right on track to get that 25lb charm this week (tomorrow actually!) and am going to KICK SERIOUS ASS the next week because I'll only need 3 more little tiny pounds to hit 28lb and my 10% goal!  I had hoped to reach it about a month ago but....life happens.  I am realistic in realizing that part of life and weight loss is to have a few setbacks, its about the long term journey.

I cannot wait to get that keychain!!!  I can almost feel it in my hand.  Wouldn't you know, just 2 more little pounds after that and I'll reach 30lb gone.  It's amazing, all these little milestones about to happen and I'm so excited about each and every one.  I'm down a dress size WOOT WOOT and feeling all around better.  I am taking a trip to Disney in December and CANNOT wait to see how much better I fit in all those rides!

Now, here's the big news.  My 30th birthday is exactly 4 months from today.  My dream of all dreams would be to be down 50lb by then.  It has taken me 4 months to lose 25lb and had several weeks in there of setbacks or flat out self sabotage....if I get on a role I KNOW I can make this happen.  Will you all stick around to help me get there?  Because I need help.  DO YOU HEAR ME UNIVERSE??? I NEED HELP!!!  I thrive on compliments and motivation, tell me my face or butt look smaller and I'm like a sunflower turning towards that giant ball of light in the sky.  You may not know I've had a tough day but asking me about my journey and encouraging me to keep going can make a crappy day into the best day ever.  So yes, to be blunt, I'm on my knees begging and pleading asking for the compliments!  Keep 'em coming.

We are going to be visiting both families this weekend and it is my goal, my mini goal for the holiday weekend, to stay on track.  Here is how....

•  I will track every bite/sip I take, everything....EVERYTHING
• I will NOT snack in the car...I will crochet instead
• I will not be pressured into eating junk I don't want or need...if I want it then I will use my flex points
• I will pack my pants that I'm just fitting back into so I don't over eat
• I will look damn good doing it!

I hope you all have a happy and healthy and safe weekend.  Do not drink and drive, watch out for crazies and enjoy the time with your families :)
