It's the little things....

Favorite thing I've ate today: Pork roast, carrots, and mushrooms

Motivation for today: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future." Jer 29:11

So here am I...starting week 3 of the Weight Loss competition @ Katty Fitness and this week I lost 3lbs! I am super excited! I have to keep reminding myself this is different than Weight Watchers, or normal Yo-Yo's. BECAUSE there were weeks before I got married (when I was on WW) that I would lose 5 to 7 lbs. BUT...I wasn't eating realistically (a couple of pieces of turkey, high sodium canned soup, string cheese, LOTS of frozen dinners, fast food kids meals...ugghhh) or making daily life decisions that I knew I could follow daily for the rest of my life. And I NOW understand the inches are much more important and that's where it's at!! I was excited before I stepped on the scale this week, because I saw a huge difference there alone. 

I know I've said it before, and I will continue saying it, but I don't care about the numbers. I just can't WAIT to be in the best shape of my life! I feel better now than I have in years, I can't wait for what's ahead!!

So  there's the evidence...I know it doesn't look like much, but let me tell you what I am excited about:

• my legs are smaller NOW than they were when I weighed 170 lbs  
• you might not can tell, but my stomach is evening out to one level which has NEVER happened (I didn't say no fat, just not rolls of it :D...oh and sorry for the graphic detail, but if I'm not helping anyone I'm helping myself)
• I have NO cravings for "bad food". Also, I haven't had anything but water since Jan 1, and the thought of sweet tea, makes me dream up a migraine. The only thing I occasionally still want is Mexican, and I've trained myself to eat healthy there :D
• I'm full ALL the time...almost annoyingly so (yes, just made that word up)
• my sz. 14 skinny jeans fit again (even though I won't be wearing them for long!
• Exercizing makes me so happy...I can assuredly say that has never come out of my mouth!

No Day BUT Today!!!
