This picture is of Hawaii. This is my reward when I have reached my goal weight. My husband doesn't know yet but this is it. I have to give myself something in the end to work towards. My goal is to loose 100 pounds. I would love to do that by March 2014. That would give me a year from the day I started. I have officially lost 28 pounds. I think I can manage 8 lbs a month ;) March 2014 is Richard and I's 10th anniversary, and I would love to lay on the beaches of Hawaii with the love of my life, in the body I am supposed to be in. This week I am so stoked cuz I lost 3 more pounds. It was probably from the stomach bug I had, but hey I'll take it were I can get it. I have kinda had a rough week getting motivated. Motivated to eat the right things and push myself when I exercise. But, stepping on that scale and not seeing it hovering at 250 like it has for over a week was motivation for me. I have finally broke 250. I honestly don't remember the last time I was under 250. Small steps, small steps, small steps.....thats what I tell myself about 50 times a day. Before I would have said "Well, I had that nutty buddy with a side of potatoe chips for lunch. I guess I quit." Not anymore!! I had a nutty buddy for lunch today...but it will not stop me. I have a food addiction, just like a drug addiction. I am sad to say I fell off the wagon. But after looking at the 3 pound loss on the scale today I told myself, that could have been 5 if you had put down the nutty buddy. Small steps, small steps, small steps!!! I am officially 16 days away from my very first 5k. I am so excited and nervous!! But I know this is the first of many accomplishments for me. This is a new me. There is a runner inside of me and I will find her.
