I DID IT!!!

I hit my first short-term goal of losing 15 lbs.!!! I lost another 1.0 lb. this past week for a total of 15.6 lbs. gone for good! That's more than the weight of one of my bowling balls! I still haven't decided what to do as an reward yet. Jim & I are planning on doing some shopping today, so maybe I'll buy myself a new shirt or something. I really like the idea of getting a manicure or pedicure, too :) I also thought I would share some of the pages in my weight-loss album that I'm doing. I originally started this album over a year ago, but then never followed through with it. But this time.....this time is different! This album will have a happy ending :) The 2 pages above are my stats & goals pages. Each month, I add a new tag with a sideview picture of myself & put my current stats on the back of the tag.
These 2 pages are just some journaling I did as to why I want to lose weight.
Each month, I'm doing a new page with a new picture of myself along with what I've accomplished that month & how I feel. I used stickles on the flowers on the paper to make them stand out more. The Primas are the new ones that Michael's sells.
Here is the latest page. I also used stickles on this page. The journaling is behind the photo on this layout. I also used the Fiskars Threading Water Punch on this page.



Till next week,
Benita
