Hey everybody!  If I wasn’t so tired I’d be really really excited to report that I stepped on the scale this morning and am now 140.5!!  I added to my tracker, which doesn’t take .5 pounds, and rounded to 140, which is my mini-goal!!  I know it was only a half pound, but after an agonizing few weeks of going up from and back down to 141, I’m SO excited that I have broken that barrier!  I’m hoping a good cardio workout today, tomorrow, and Friday will push my weighin down to 140 or even 139 by the weekend!  YAY!

I can’t remember the last time I weighed less than 141.  This is truly a big deal!  And if I can get in the 130s - well, I know for sure that I haven’t weighed that since 2002 - 2003 - so 5 or 6 years!!!

I set a new mini-goal of 137.  I know that’s a really small step but my body is telling me that my weight loss is going to be much slower and more difficult from this point on as I approach my goal weight.  So I have to rearrange my thought process to fractions of pounds instead of pounds.  From here on out I’m sure will be the most difficult part, so I hope I can focus and stay determined!!

The good news is that I’ve been dieting so long that it doesn’t bother me anymore… so that’s a positive.

In other news, my wedding is 50 days away!  Can I at least get down to 135 by then?  We’ll see, but I have to kick it into high gear for sure!!!  As the wedding approaches it is getting harder and harder to sleep at night too, so I’ve had to start using half a Xanax before bed to relax my nerves a bit.  I’m not worried about it since I know this is situational stress…. and I read somewhere that one of the keys to weight loss is getting plenty of good rest, because the body repairs itself and muscles grow during sleep.. so I will make getting enough water and rest a definite priority as well.

OK, so there is my plan!  Thanks for all your support ladies, and I look forward to  a good weigh in for the Heartbreakers this weekend!

YAY!!!
