Yay for me!

I am happy to announce (that according to my bathroom scale, which I like right now) I have lost 10LBS!!! A WHOLE TEN POUNDS!!! It's only been since August that I have been doing this (sarcasm). But honestly it's been since October that I've been really sticking with it. I've been sick a couple times as well and that no doubt has helped. Not to mention that my cravings for sweets is not as bad and I snack less (thanks to keeping bottled water in the fridge and trying to drink more of that before I go for the snack). Portion control is the way to go for me. I counted calories for about a week consistently and that helped me to see what a serving size might look like. I count every once in awhile just to make sure I'm still on track. It wasn't until that week I counted calories that I started to see the weight drop even though I had been exercising regularly. (Jillian Michaels 30 day shred alternated with jogging on the treadmill) My pants fit looser! In fact the other day my husband called me saggy pants! (That's a good thing, they're saggy because I no longer fill them out!) Oh this is the best Christmas present! I can't wait to see that scale read 130 again! I'm eating healthier. I have more energy. I don't need to eat the entire bag of Hershey kisses to feel satisfied. I have a bit more patience with my kids, and I love to look in the mirror! I no longer grimace when I pass a mirror because I know I'm loosing and it wont be long before I can break out that box of "skinny" clothes! I can do this! You can do this! We all can do this! Yay for us! I've also started to watch the Biggest Looser. Not avidly I'll admit but it is a good pick me up! Those people are amazing! If they can change their lives so can I!
That's it for now! 10LBS! WOOHOO!!
