I'm happy to say goodbye to another pound!

I lost another pound...actually 1.1...let's not forget the point one. Every point one counts! Now I am down 21.5. I am excited to get to 25! I'm still walking every morning with my fun friends and it is really good for me in so many ways. I know I could be losing faster if I would quit eating so many carbs, but at least I'm losing slowly but surely. I'm not as impatient this time as I have been in the past and I think that's a good thing.

This is going to be such a fun weekend. Jessica and Todd are coming home and Jess is having a bridal shower. I'm so so excited. I know I'll probably eat some things I shouldn't but I'll keep my portions small and hopefully still find time to do some exercise.

Dave is doing great! He has lost 27 pounds. I'm really happy for him. He has amazing willpower and has been working out each morning. So I guess between us we're almost to 50! YIPPEE!

I lost my brian but I still weight the same!

How can it be that I lost my brain but I still weigh the same? I totally forgot to post and I'm sure that's because my brain is missing in action. You'd think that if my brain fell out I'd have lost about 3 pounds, considering that's what the average human brain weighs.

I have been REALLY faithful with my exercise and...here's a shocker...I'm really loving it. I've been walking at 5:30 a.m. with Shannon and Michele and it's been so good for me. So so so good for me! Sometimes Kerinda joins us and that's great, too. She and I are going to walk this morning and I'm proud to say that will be my 7th walk this week, because I walked twice on Thursday, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. We walk up and down hills for about an hour so it's a pretty good workout. My headache is much better and I'm feeling healthier emotionally. (I think I forgot to post that I've been suffering with really severe headaches the past couple of weeks.)

Exercise is really good for the body and mind! I've known that for a while, but it took me forever to get moving. I'm so glad I've finally done it. Hopefully it will show up this week on the scale. One thing is for sure, I have the best friends any girl was ever blessed to have and I'm so very grateful. I also had a really interesting experience in the temple this past Wednesday night that has given me some clarity on some changes I've really been needing to make in my life. The temple is a huge blessing and I'm so grateful that Jessica and Todd are beginning their marriage there.

I'll try and locate my brain and remember to post next Wednesday. If you happen to see it, please call 1-800-BRAINLESSWOMAN!

Twenty...finally!

YIPPEE! I finally made it to 20 pounds. I know it took me forever, but I'm so glad to have finally done it. This morning I was down 20.4 pounds. I really really really think the exercise is helping. And the super weird and freaky thing is that I'm enjoying it! I've been needing to do this for a long time. So now I feel a new motivation and I am really going to try (I take that back, try means "I have no intention of doing this") I'm going to work harder to lose a little bit faster. Not super fast, but faster than my average so far of about a pound a week. I have 25 more to go, but that's better than the 45 I had when I started. I really needed this right now! I needed a boost and I'm so grateful that I got one. Onward and downward!
