Day 40

I'm psyched about the progress I've seen. I'm now in jeans that were WAY too tight for me this fall and wore jeans yesterday that I couldn't even zip, much less button not too long ago. In fact, the jeans I wore yesterday were only zippable after two months in Africa last summer. HA!

Admittedly, I need to spice up my videos in the future. I'm only 40% done with my challenge and already I'm a snooze on the videos. I thought that maybe I'll record my next video while I'm doing a cardiac resuscitation at work. Then I'll get my cardio and video all at once!

Day 33

Woo-Hoo! I've lost 12 pounds since December 14th. To celebrate this evening, I had a Publix sub, veggie chips, and some Kashi granola. If you told me a few months I was going to have a celebratory meal consisting of this, I would have choked on my cheeseburger.

And, my zit is HUGE. Why try and hide it?

That's what the scale said this afternoon. Then I wet myself there in the middle of the gym and dropped another half pound. I was 239 around thanksgiving and 242 at the end of October so have made some HUGE progress - much more than expected. I'm not doing a video blog tonight because I have a zit on my chin so large that I'm convinced that it's a growth, increasing my metabolic rate, and contributing to my weight loss. Whatever helps. Tonight, I had dinner out with Neal and Helen and ate at Applebea's and chose the Weight Watchers steak and mushrooms. Granted, it didn't look as yummy as a cheeseburger and fries, but I ate my food, it was delicious, and I didn't want more.

Right now I'm watching The Biggest Loser. I love this show. Regular people working their booty off to work their booty off. I keeps me motivated to do the same.

Maybe when this zit disappears I'll lose another pound or two.
