Official Weigh Day

I've officially reached a weight that I haven't seen in over 2 years today. I can't express how exciting this is to me. I'm down another 2 pounds officially this morning. 10 pounds. That's two sacks of sugar. My husband as a newborn. I've lost an infant; Whole human on the way... I couldn't be more happy! Last night, however, I slacked with the exercise, no excuses, I know. But, I've been busting my hump for days now, my thighs needed a break! Back on the saddle again tonight though.

Big Red made a comment to me last night about how much my food habits have changed. For both of us. You see, he's the tall thin guy and I'm the short chunky girl. So for him, he can eat 6 pizzas and not gain an ounce. I hate him for that! I'm not one to gorge or eat and eat and eat. But, I love potatoes, pasta, rice, breads. You know, all the staples that tend to help keep people fat. I still love all those foods, but I'm opting for the better version of them. Boy, I can feel a difference. I have more energy and I don't want to come home at night and crash. I attribute this to our exercise regimen as well.


My boss, who has been out of the office for 13 days, even mentioned to me that my face looks thinner and she can tell that I've been losing weight. This is the greatest thing that someone can say to help boost your confidence. I felt so good after that yesterday. Though, I can't tell much of a difference, I look at myself everyday.


Off to work... Just wanted to share my progress!! :)

Congrats on the awesome Weigh in!

Like yourself, I was never one to sit and gorge myself either. But like you, I love my good ol' comfort food. I loved Ice Cream, Cheese, Pastas, Bread. I've just learned now to eat them in moderation :)
