Update Before I Take Off!

Since I am going away tomorrow and will not be around the do my Weigh In Wednesday I thought I would update you today. Actually I was going to post regardless not specifically a weight update as it has only been two days since my last BUT......I felt different when I woke up this morning. I know that sounds super corny but I did. However, I didn't step on the scale because I've seen the same stinkin number for so long I couldn't bare to look down and be disappointed AGAIN!!!

As the day progressed I slowly convinced myself to weigh, and when I did........167lbs!!!!! Holy Smokes! I am in total shock. I have seen 168 once or twice before only for it to go right back up before my weigh in but I have NEVER seen 167! It's funny how your body just lets you know "hey you feel different" lol, and it was right! =)

So I officially 85lbs lost! Wow that is such a huge number I cannot believe it. I obviously didn't make my cruise goal but at this point I am just happy to see the scale move at all before I go! =) I just want to make sure you all know (sometimes I feel like I don't say it enough) that I really appreciate all your comments of support and encouragement, they truly mean so much to me! =)

You will hear from my next week and I'll be posting lots of pics!!!

Oh and one last thing, I updated my "Who Am I" page if anyone is interested!
