The results are in....

I tried harder this week than any other that I can think of, and I lost…..

One Pound.

So that makes my total weight loss for the first quarter seventeen pounds – just 3 pounds shy of my goal of twenty.

I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have waited til the end to step it up! But you know, I am still proud of myself. I’m no longer in the two hundred pound range and that means a lot to me. We celebrated last night with pizza, now my pants feel too tight lol. I guess we should have celebrated with fruit instead.

Oh, and you’ll be happy to know that David lost four pounds so he has actually lost 28lbs all together. That’s eight pounds more than his goal! I’m so proud of him!

So today we start working towards our next twenty pounds. Well, technically, David only has 12lbs to go. I have twenty-three. So NOT fair! At least I have until January 22^nd to get rid of that weight. I’ve confided in a good friend at work about trying to lose weight, and she’s been doing really good about keeping me out of the candy box J. I’ll be jogging now instead of walking so there should be more calories burned with that. This week it’s in the eighties though – not too happy about that. But I’ll suffer through it.

Yesterday was hard. I won’t lie. I cried after we weighed ourselves. Poor David, lol. But he really is proud of me and he knows how hard it is for me to lose weight. When I woke up this  morning, I felt a lot better about things. I think these next few months will be harder though. I will have to blog more, so that I can vent more, and trudge on through this diet!
