7 pounds

No, this is not a post about one of Will Smith's worst movies ever...


It is the number of pounds I have lost in 3 weeks.


At first, I was disappointed when I weighed myself this morning because 7 pounds doesn't seem like a lot. Watching the Biggest Loser, they can lose 7 pounds in just 1 week, not 3. But then I remember, I don't live with personal trainers, my very own gym, or a nutritionist. I don't have time to work out 7-8 hours a day. So 7 pounds is good. My goal was 2 1/2 pounds a week, and I am only a half a pound away from that, so I think I have done well. 


Thank you to everyone who has left comments on here or on Facebook. It means so much to know people care about my getting healthy. My husband has been a great support and pushing me to go to the gym and make healthy food choices, even when I don't want to. My friends Mindy and Julianne have also been great, keeping me accountable and giving me great tips. 


This is finally becoming a reality... I might actually be at my goal weight by the end of the summer. 
There is light at the end of the tunnel. 
I can do this. 
I am so ready to do this and be done with this.

I can't wait until I no longer look like this...
