The Up and Down Ride

Hey Friends!
I just wanted to write a quick post to update you on the goal.  I weighed in this morning and the new number was....

215.3

I've been having a lot of ups and downs, so I'm very glad that I've been doing well this week.  As some of you may know, I just recently returned from a FANTASTIC trip to the Alpha Phi Omega National Volunteer Conference in Kansas City, MO.  The ONLY downside to that trip was that I didn't do too well with Weight Watchers on the trip.  Yes, I have done a TON worse on road trips, but I also could have done better.

Hubby and I will be moving soon to another apartment in the area.  When we do, I am excited to start some aquatic group exercise classes at the local YMCA. Until then, I have to save up some money for some other things.

Other than that, I'm just enjoying the last bits of summer until school starts again!  Thank you SOOO much to all of you who have shown your love and support so far on this journey!

Much love,
Katie

The New Challenge

Hello, everyone! 

It’s obviously been quite some time since I’ve posted.  I haven’t felt very compelled to write in here in the past few months, but I recently felt the urge to blog again. 

Just a few nights ago I found myself realizing how close I am to my goal weight.  While some people may think it is really still so far away (yes, it’s still around 100 pounds away),  it’s a lot closer than it used to be!  

When reflecting on how little I've come since a year ago or even a few months ago, I'm immediately disappointed, but I'm trying to remember that this is a lifestyle change and a journey...it's not a race.  I realized that in just a year I could healthily be at my goal weight!

  

For that to be possible is just amazing to me! 

Anyway, to help push me and inspire me, I have decided to dedicate small groups of weight loss to special people in my life.  

The current number is…..

219

I obviously have been bouncing on and off of the healthy lifestyle for awhile now.  While I focus on losing pounds 219 – 210, I will be thinking of a very special group of people in my life.  I will be thinking of YOU!  

Because of the special readers that have been reading this blog and those who have let me know that they have been reading through comments on here, Facebook comments, or face to face comments in real life, I have been inspired and pushed to go further in my goals.  These pounds will be pushed off for YOU.  And believe me…these have been DIFFICULT!  Please help me and encourage me in any way you can as I try this new challenge in the big push of the healthy lifestyle!

Much love, 

Katie
