I am pleased to announce that I have officially lost 20lbs now. So thrilled to have my "sexy" back! Feeling really good and confidence gets stronger by the day. Cute clothes all fitting again. Why I ever let myself get as heavy as I did is beyond me. Why did I ever decide that eating and sitting on my butt was more important than feeling good about myself? And what's even crazier is that I thought eating and sitting on my butt WAS making me happy but it took 20lbs later for me to finally realize that it was only a temporary daily fix that in the long run just made me miserable.

So I feel great but I am not done yet. My next goal is another 5 lbs which will take me back below 140. Haven't seen a weight in the 130's for years but I am very close. In the end, I still have about 10lbs to get between 130 and 135 which is where I feel really good. I've never seen below 130 but I figure once I get there we'll see what my body says. At some point, my body will probably want to plateau but if not maybe I'll shoot for something in the 120 range. I'll be 40 this and am still single. I plan on spending my 40's in the best shape of my life so why not keeping pushing?

Here's to the next 5 lbs!
