Morning to all. Sorry for being gone for so long. Between school, picking up extra shifts at work, & trying to spend time with friends & boyfriend as much as possible, I've been neglecting this blog. Well, no more! I feel like I’ve become complacent in my current weight, & that is not acceptable. I have a long way to go, despite how far I’ve come, & there is no excuse to fall back into old habits. One step at a time. Look forward to more positive posts in the near future!

Current Weight: 245 (holding steady here & trying not to get discouraged)

Pounds To Go: 45

So I've lost another 2 lbs, which is awesome. But the REAL thing that's got me so happy is my confidence level rising. I can feel myself walking taller each & every day, & looking in the mirror with a more positive attitude. Just being able to see my hard work paying off is making me so happy! I feel like it's coming off to other people, too. I'm getting more compliments on my progress, & people remarking on how happy I look these days. It's because I AM happy! I'm not where I want to be, but each day is taking me one step closer. And THAT, my dear followers, is the true meaning of progress.

Times I’ve Been To The Gym This Week: 0 (Going today, Wednesday, & Thursday)

I am officially loving this new 1500 calorie thing! I'm not really hungry, since I'm eating smaller amounts more often instead of larger portions at "typical" meal times. I'm also finding more energy due to not being super full all the time. And the proof is in the pounds. I've gone down from 250 to 247 since the weekend. I know this is also due to my increase in water consumption & my period finally arriving, since the bloating is going away. But it's just so nice to once more see progress! Now to celebrate I'm going to finish this coffee & head to the gym for arm/abs day. Woot!
