Like Toni said, thank-you for all of the iTunes selections.....I've been busy downloading songs all week :) Keep them coming.....we need more tunes!
Today was my weekly weigh-in day & I'm happy to report that I'm down another 2.2 lbs.! I have now lost a total of 8.4 lbs. in 5 weeks! One of my short-term goals is to lose a total of 36.6 lbs. by the end of August for when I go to Pennsylvania to visit my family. I have 28.2 lbs. to go to reach that goal, which means I need to up my weight loss a little bit & try to lose 9.4 lbs. a month over the next 3 months. It's not going to be easy, by any means, but I'm determined to give it my best shot!
My horoscope for today fits me perfectly: "Think big and live large instead of cramming your dreams into a space the size of a yogurt container. Having confidence in your efforts is infinitely preferable to doubting your blessings." Think BIG! Big goals, big dreams! Have confidence! Something I'm not very good at doing, but that is changing each & every day! I can do this! I WILL do this! Every day that I workout, I feel so much better about myself. My energy level is increasing as my body is decreasing :) I know I still have a long way to go, but I didn't put this weight on overnight & unfortunately, it won't come off overnight, either. Like I've told my husband, we got fat together & we're going to get skinny together :)
Thanks again for all the support! Have a great weekend!

All About Me
It all started on April 25, 2008. Jim & I decided that enough was enough & we joined our local gym. We try to work out at least 5 days a week, although sometimes our schedules are crazy. I have also started working at the gym.....gotta love that free membership :)
I made this blog as I thought it would be a great place to get support (and give support to anyone else stopping by), while at the same time keeping a record of my journey down the weight loss road.
I hope to post an update once a week with my progress & stats, as well as my struggles along the way. My ultimate goal is to lose 111.6 pounds.
Wish me luck along my journey!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I think losing weight is one of the hardest things anyone can do but it's also one of the most rewarding. You must feel incredibly proud!
Benita, that is GREAT news :) And what a great way to put it - your energy level is increasing as your weight decreases. We can do this...I am really enjoying supporting each other this way!
