2.2 Down

I'm starting to get excited about training for the next tri here in Indy. I'm actually finding myself letting people know. This is a good sign!!

I had not weighed in for three weeks but was happy to see 2.2 down. I really have to get busy here because the surgery will be here before I know it and I really need to be in a healthy weight range.

Tonight the challenge was to lose weight and donate the amount we have lost to a food bank. Our leader had a big ol' table full of 126lbs of food and it was really inspiring. I can't imagine carrying around the 48 lbs I've lost. So glad to be rid of it.

I was doing great today and then had a piece of fried chicken AFTER I had already had a healthy salad. I'm not off points due to the extra ones but I'm going to have to curb the eating if it is to come off with any speed.

Biking tomorrow and walking tonight!

Later Taters

So Thankful To Go Down

Tonight I'm thankful that I lost 1.2 lbs. It feels so great to continue on this process. I wasn't sure how it would look as I had to eat in a cafeteria all week at camp. I worked to make good choices and enjoyed a few treats so I didn't feel deprived.

I'm wearing a shirt tonight that I had my original picture taken in and it's so loose and comfy. Ha I probably have four inches at least on the side. There were more compliments for me when I arrived at camp. It's so nice to have folks look at me and say WOW Dawna you look great. I picked out a shirt from the stack to wear and I was in a medium. It was nice fitting and I felt good in it. What do you feel great in lately????

Tonight the leader at the WW meeting said that the answer to cravings was to crave (Health, Good BMI, Energy, Physical Fitness) I love that.

Looking forward to cheering the peeps on during the triathalon this coming weekend.

Keep on the path.

I'm Back : )

WOW One Week at World Series and One Week in Branson. Where does the time go?? I went tonight to weigh in and I'm happy to report I'm down another 2.8. That was good news as I stayed on plan pretty much however enjoyed a few extra foods in Branson but still enjoyed a loss. Glad for that.

I'm headed to camp this week for the foreign exchange students and to what I'm sure will be a low budget carb fest. I will pack my good little cooler : )

Take care everyone and thanks for cheering from the sidelines.
