Great Milestone!!

I didn't WI this weekend because we were in Portland visiting friends. But, I have a great milestone to share!

I went shopping on Saturday with my friend. My pants I was wearing for the last couple years were size 16. I was recently able to start wearing some of my size 14 again. On Saturday, I tried on a size 12 just for the heck of it! They fit, and even felt loose in the waist!! I was so excited!! It is moments like this that keep me going and give me the will power to continue this journey.

A little Catch Up

I will try to keep posting here at least once a week, but will make a bigger effort to do it more.

My current stats:

7/21/07 Weigh In: 165lbs!!
- 8lbs (since first meeting, but -10 since signing up on line)

I am feeling so good! My favorite thing is being able to look in a window when walking by, and liking what I see!

One of my big challenges right now is drinking more watter and I need to start taking a multi vitamin and look into the cost of a pedometer to count my steps. I am trying to walk to offices when I have a question, and not just e-mail someone!

I will miss weigh in this week because we are headed to Portland, but will try to post throughout next week.

OH, and definitely need some new clothes!! My pants are looking horrible!

And lastly, I want to throw out there for anyone reading, just eating good portions and healthier food can make a difference. Last summer I decided to start to make a difference. I started eating better. I looked at pictures of me with my daughter at her first birthday party and I didn't like what I saw. At that point I was 196lbs. I have lost 30 lbs in a year, and only 10 have been on WW. So just making smarter decisions, I slowly lost 20 lbs over 12 months.

Week Two: Days 1-2

The weekend away was great. I did a GREAT job!! And the scale at home is supporting that!!

I did my best to order healthy things off of menus, and ate a lot of veggies and seafood! Saturday morning I ordered a veggie omelet that was to die for, but only ate half of it! I did a very good job leaving parts of my food, and not eating it all!

We did a lot of walking on the beach, etc., so got some good exercise too.

I must say, I expected a big challenge, but feel good about how I did. I even tried new drinks to keep my drinks healthier too!
