4 weeks in.. a little late.

So I never posted my weigh in for Sunday bu I did take the picture that morning!

281 which is still down from last week, but a tiny bit disappointing since I actually hit my 2nd goal of 280 on Thursday and then made it to 279 Friday.

However, it was expected since I went to a bridal expo with my best friend on Saturday who is getting married later this year. I am going to be her maid of honor and we sampled all kinds of catering foods and cakes while there. It was delicious and I enjoyed it. I had a much needed girls day with my bestie and do not regret the choices I have made.

This morning I was back down to 280... tomorrow I'm crossing my fingers to see the 270s again since it marks a whole new month and time to update stats! :D

I have been busting out the jump rope during gym time with my prek kids and they have actually been exercising with me the last 2 days. lol

2nd Goal!

Today I reached 280 lbs and I am super excited to be down 13 lbs since the first of the year, 20 lbs in total. I get to change my sidebar to include today's date as a goal met. Score!

I've mentioned it before that I teach 3, 4, and 5 year olds Preschool. Well as we all know, kids say the darnedest things. In the last month I have been asked twice if I have a baby in my belly. Yesterday I was told someone's cat's belly was so big just like mine, and today I was asked how I got so big. Luckily for me I am so much more mentally stronger than I used to be and so this hasn't phased me or deterred any of my progress. I just keep thinking how awesome it will be for them to see me transform over the next several months and that I can finally stop hearing all the comments on how big I am. lol

3 Weeks!! It's habit time, ya'll.

Hahah... I don't know who says it, but it's been said that if you can stick with something for just 21 days, 3 weeks, it becomes a habit. Well here I am still without sodas and drinking a lot more water than I used to. I am conscious of what I am eating and when I am eating and then what I do with myself after that.

Yesterday I went to a birthday party and I had a tiny bit of cake along with a portioned amount of chips in some nacho cheese with a hot dog. Not the greatest selection, but it was there and I enjoyed it without overindulging myself. They had a buttload of sodas and juices to drink, too but I made sure to have nothing but water. It was a carnival themed party for some long time friends children and I was asked to paint faces. I had a blast and the kids did, too.

My son, Jett

 There was soooo much food and candy for all the game prizes, but I abstained and turned out no worse for the ware.

This morning I stepped on the scale to see that I am down to 282!

This puts me 11 lbs down from my starting weight 3 weeks ago, but 18 lbs down in total! I am super pumped. lol

I woke up today and got a workout in before taking the kids to church. There is lots of housework and shopping to be done today, too. I am keeping myself busy and it's paying off. :)
