A proud proud moment

Tonight my gift from my cousin came she promised she would send me a scale before Christmas and she did so. I of course had to try it out I have not been to TOPS in a month and a half so I was just a little bit nervous. I wondered if I had learned enough to keep going on my own. I wondered if I had let myself slip since I didn't know what I weighed but I didn't have anything to worry about I was down 3 more pounds 13 total. That isn't a lot really but a loss is a loss and I'm proud of it. I'm proud that I kept going without a group to keep me on track that gives me confidence that I can do this on my own and keep the weight off because that means I've been learning to have complete self control. This will be a key ingredient to my lasting success. More exciting things will be on the horizon for me as I get re motivated with my exercise I'm more excited to get back on that bandwagon now that I have a better way to judge my progress. I also realized I'm only 5 lbs away from once again being at the lowest weight I've been since before I graduated from high school but the difference I'm not stopping there. It may take time but I am determined to get down to my goal weigh. I of course know I will have to make smaller goals my goals are going to be gauged every 2 months. It is my goal every 8 weeks to lose a total of 10 lbs I'm almost out of my 280s now so come Dec 1st I will see what I can do between then and Feb 1st. Along with that I hope to measure myself of course to get the whole picture with what is going on. So excited with my new scale and the great tool it will be on my mission to a new healthier stronger more confident me.
