Ok.. So i know i haven't posted any weigh ins for a couple weeks and that was because I stayed the same on everything! I have been so disappointed in myself because i felt like i had failed. I don't know how i did it but i searched deep inside and used my thinking cap. Call it willpower, determination, etc.. I just didn't give up.. I started eating a protein shake in the morning along with a healthy lunch/dinner. Plus my energy bars.. I think i would have had a more impressive number but we ate out twice yesterday I know!! I know what you all are thinking.. But this was the first day in a month that i had Bryon home and we did alot of errands..lol Anyways.. I am finally down the First 10lbs!!!
I lost 1 lb.. and then these inches
Shoulders~Down 2
Waist~ Down 2!!
Thighs~ Down 1
Calves~ Down 1/2

I told Connie that once i got down 10lbs.. i would post a new picture so that is what i will do.. Once i get home from picking up the kids i will find somewhere in the house to take a couple pics in the infamous jeans from a earlier post!!..lol I feel very happy today for the accomplishment of that 1 lb. and i believe that is because i read something that Jillian Michael's from the Biggest Loser said.. I will re post it for you..

The action begins when you take the steps. Then you are saying, "I'm worth it." Saying "I can't" is where the craziness comes from. Yes, you are strong. Yes, you are powerful. Yes, you are capable. Whenever you put that energy into the universe, it will all fall in place

Pretty amazing words huh?? Well it must have helped to read it. Now this week i just have to stick to my guns and not eat out twice in one day..LOL

Oh and i have to tell you.. I am going to cash in on a couple of my rewards that i have hit. Next Thursday I have an appt. to get a Mani/Pedi.. I had on my reward list for bry to paint my toes and nails but he is really busy and doesn't really like to do it. lol He does it when i really really want him to but he would rather someone else do it. Plus i got a gift cert. from our bank to save $50.. So i cant pass that up!! I might cash in on another one and that is having Bryon dye my hair the kick butt color that i couldn't find the last time i dyed it.

So needless to say i have a pep in my step and a little uplift to my esteem. I will just keep chanting the words of Jillian.. I am powerful, I am worth it, I am strong, and I am capable! Thank you all for reading.
