Its good to see you down there!

Elizabeth said it best "It all begins with One!"

I realize its been a while since I've written and I'm sorry, there really has been too much going on to keep my away from my laptop. 

The good news is, for the first time in about 10 years, I weigh under 200lbs!  199.8 was my official weigh in this week.  YAY! I celebrated by eating healthy, and then planning a splurge day at Worlds of Fun riding all the fun rides and eating things like Cinnabons.  Ironically enough, I totally regret eating terrible--my stomach was not happy this morning, but I did NOT go over my weekly points, which is fantastic.  I have been traveling and took on the new challenge of "real world" eating, meaning that I left my meal plan behind and challenged myself to eat healthy by the seat of my pants.  I did very well I must say.  The key is to portion control and use logic to determine what you should eat. 

I'm also excited to say my the best friend has joined me in the weight loss adventure.  She is doing very very well.  She was not happy when I coaxed her (may be tricked her) into walking a 5k with me one hot afternoon.  Its good to have more support. 

I realize all in all this is very short and choppy, but I wanted to stop in and give an update of what's going on.  I hope to be back with my new 50lbs loss soon and that will entail all sorts of fun new pictures and goals!

until then--live well!
