Still at it...

It's been a little while since I've updated. Mostly because I don't have anything exciting to write about, but I guess that's not exactly the point of this journey. It's more about the accountability - letting the world (or all 3 of you readers) know what I'm up to and showing you all the dirty numbers on the scale!

So the update is this: I'm definitely still at this whole getting in shape thing. I've been faithful with my weekly exercise routines, and am doing well with protein intake versus sugar and fat intake for the most part. I feel a LOT better when I am clothed and look in the mirror. I see a significant difference no matter what the scale says, which is what's the most important I think.

Two major feel good moments: 1. on Monday I weighed in UNDER 140 for the first time in a LONG time - hooray!! I was 139.8...I'll take it! 2. I tried on my 2 bathing suits that I own (one of which I figured out I've had for 9 years), and I actually didn't hate it. Now that's progress!!

So maybe I did have exciting things to write about after all! I have less than 10 pounds to go now (9.8 to be exact) until I reach my goal weight. I hear that the last few pounds are the hardest to lose. Sounds awesome. I guess I'll just keep at it and get there eventually!!

BTW - Jon and I bought our first house - HOORAY!!!! :) (and this is the just-home-from-the-closing picture...)
