2 Months!

I can't believe that I have been doing this for two months now! I have never stuck with any diet plan for more than a few weeks. And the best part is I'm still going strong! I admit that I have had days where I just wanted to quit, but when I think about how far I've come, I quickly get over it.

I am excited that I only have 8 more pounds to lose before I reach my goal. I have been losing about 2lbs/week on average so that puts me at goal well before my dead line! Once I reach that I will probably set another 10 lbs goal, but mostly I just really want to get in shape. Even though I have lost a considerable amount of weight I have a hard time seeing it because of my stomach.

I am still doing great with my exercise routine, although there has been a few days that I didn't exercise either because of lack of time or I just needed a break. I am wanting to find some new exercises that will focus on my stomach and abs though. Having four children has wreaked havoc on my stomach. It's like a bowl full of jello...yuck! (But I have to admit it is WELL worth the sacrifice!)

I also have been enjoying finding new healthy recipes and converting some of our favorite standbys into healthier versions. It just amazes me when I go grocery shopping to see the changes I am making in the products that I buy, or don't buy. Even though I started this journey with weight loss as my goal, I want to make these changes a permanent part of my life.

So, I am going to continue working hard, refocusing when I need to and keep in touch with my support system. I have even more motivation now to keep at it because we will be going to Disney World at the end of April. We will be doing a lot of walking so I need to keep working out. I also want to look (and feel) good in my summer clothes! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Look out Mickey...here I come!
