Drum roll please.......

Well I did it, over and over, I got on the scale and then kept getting on and off to make sure it was right. I am 194! That is down 15 from the last time I got on the scale a month ago. I hate being excited about weighing this much but it has been a while since I was under 200. So since I had Ruby and I was at 218 that is almost 25 pounds so far. I should get a scale for at home and one that is easier to read than my parents cause I could weigh less it is hard to tell.

 I realized soon after that how far I have to go but then on "The Biggest Loser" they said something that really helped me. They went to the grand canyon and as they stood in awe of it they were reminded that this beautiful scenic view was not created in a day, it took a long time for the river to carve out that huge deep canyon, so just like with me, it won't happen in a day, good things take time. I also went to walmart and tried on a pair of size 14 jeans, they fit, OK they were tight but I would have never been able to pull them up let alone button them just a month ago. I will wait on buying them though, I do, however, need a good belt. I went in to Olathe this weekend and while my in-laws watched the girls I went and did a 4 mile jog/walk. I jogged a lot more than I have ever done, I know that I jogged at more than 2 miles of my trip. I wish I could do that more often but it is impossible with kids so I just get to enjoy it on weekends. Well keep up the prayers and encouragement. I am so energized by this, so ready to keep going, see how I just needed to see those results, it really helps.
