Almost Halfway there!!!

Today's weigh-in results ::: I lost 2.0 lbs! Putting me at 186.2 and surpassing my 30 lbs mark by .8 pounds :) My October goal is 185 lbs... but I have a feeling that I am going to surpass that goal :) Today's weigh-in results mean that I have 41 pounds to lose... in a few more pounds, I'll be halfway to my goal weight. (I'm really going back and forth with my goal weight. Sometimes I think 145 is an unrealistic goal... sometimes I think it's a fine goal. I guess I will have to see as I get closer)

Yesterday afternoon I began the Daniel Fast. The first 24-hours is a liquid fast, and I have really taken to the Naked drinks! They are absolutely delicious!!! I did, however, indulge a bit before the fast began. I treated myself to Burger King. I had a chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese. It came with fries, but I had a hard time eating all of them... I had a large but ate the equivalent of a small (if even that).

Once dinner hits tonight, I will be eating only fruits, veggies, nuts, and beans. And drinking only water and natural fruit juices.

I am super excited to have hit the 30 lb mark. Looking over the last 4 weeks... I have lost 8.4 lbs. That's an average of 2.1 lbs per week. That's incredible!!

I'm not gonna lie. It feels good when I see people I haven't seen in a while and they tell me that I look good. I never fish for compliments, but if they are offered up, it is encouraging. It's also encouraging to hear how I have inspired people to do weight watchers. It is a reminder that I have people watching me (not in a creepy way), and that by letting myself down, I'd be letting others down as well.

Also, at work, I have really enjoyed talking to customers that tell me that they just joined a gym and are doing weight watchers. I am given the opportunity to share my experiences with them, and it always leads to a great conversation. Several women I have spoken with told me that they weren't quite sure about weight watchers, but after hearing my experiences so far, they are really interested in it.

I'm really looking forward to what this week will bring. I am also looking forward to getting to spend some quality time with some of you ladies at my Lia Sophia party :)

See you next week!!! :)
