Weigh-in Wednesday and the joy of 30 pound hand weights

Hi friends!

Goodness I am terrible at this whole blog thing!

I really have no good excuses for not keeping up with it and that's just sad. So I am really going to try and do it at least one post a week!

Well its weigh-in Wednesday....and my current weight is.....

224!

So that means that so far in my journey i have lost 32 pounds!

honestly when i started this journey I don't think i really believed in myself enough to think that i would be able to say that i have lost 32 pounds. It makes me really excited about reaching that half way point! And then reaching that goal of 80 pounds lost! what a sweet victory that will be!

Its pretty crazy to think about it.

The other day when i was at the rec. i had weighed in at 226 (30 pounds lost) that morning and decided to just see what 30 pounds feels like with the hand weights...and let me tell you. I WAS SHOCKED!

Now i know looking at a 30 pound hand weight might not look like much but what really shocked me was that i was carrying 30 more pounds when i started. I don't necessarily feel like i am walking "lighter" but i do feel so much better and i know that the more weight i lose the better i will feel physically and emotionally.

I find it funny now that when i am out anywhere and something has a weight on it, i think of it in pounds lost. Like a big bag of rice, or how heavy a gallon of milk is. Its almost fun to see that weight i lost in different objects.

I cant tell you all how much your sweet words of encouragement help me. It means so much to be when someone says that they follow my blog. Those words give me motivation to keep going .
