It Doesn't Look Good on me!


I'm having a greedy moment people, please stand by.... It all started this weekend when I thought I owed it to myself for reaching a 31 pound weight loss. Well 2 brownies, 1 piece of pound cake, 1 lemon bar, 4 chocolates, two iced coffee drinks, 1 soda and a host of other crap later, I feel sick and sluggish and I can honestly say that it wasn't worth it. Its this type of thinking and indulgence that will put me right back to where I was at the start of the year and that's not where I want to be. As I start to get closer to my goal, I have to remember the reasons why I want to be healthy and thin(ner) so I don't get back to that chunky place. I sure hope I can shake this this thing because greed does not look good on me.

Knockin on 30's Door


So, my friend Heidi who is on a similar journey, inspired me to send you all an update as it relates to my weight loss/healthy living journey.

As you know I am a Weight Watcher and I have been since January. Its been going pretty well and I am happy to say that as of today, I am almost down 30 pounds. I'm inclined to go into details and tell you that I should have surpassed that already but why bother. This journey is just that, a journey. Sometimes I fall and sometimes things don't go as planned but rest assured I am focused and committed to the goal. I look great (if I do say so myself), I feel great, and I'm almost in a complete new wardrobe.

I've read somewhere before that one's goal should not be to just look good but truth be told I like looking good. As a matter of fact I love it. Not to mention I know I'm becoming healthier in the process. Well, there you have it, my story in a nutshell. Outside of the nutshell of course there are frustrations, tears and I even get tired but I'm not complaining because I'm knocking on 30's door. Go me!
