Update: 209.8lbs!! 50.2lbs DOWN!
I just wanted to make a quick post today because although it is technically the 'most depressing day of the year', it's definitely not to me! I am finally down 50lbs, and about 50% done my weight loss 'journey' (or at least until a different journey begins). My BMI at this moment is 31.90 and I am only 13.8lbs away from the 'Overweight' category. Fantastic. And so so close to being under 200. I love being in the low 200s, it feels more real now - more likely that I'll succeed (and damn right!).
I've done really well this week. I've managed to get a significant amount of protein each day and still get all my carbs (despite still avoiding breads, pasta, crackers etc.). I am eating tons of vegetables (at least compared to previous weeks) and getting all my water (although not green tea.. but that's alright, I forgive myself). And I have exercised each day this week. Two of those days involved getting up hours before my 9am class to get it in, but it had to be done. I am even starting to see definition in my arms (don't get me wrong though, there is still a ton of fat there, but at least I know the muscles are there, hiding underneath)....
One thing I have been wanting to do for a while now is to fill in Krissie's Love List. It is a great idea for giving ourselves motivation that isn't necessarily connected directly to the weight. I figure I might as well do this while I am in a good mood (and perhaps bringing it out often, when I am not)! So that is what I will do when I get home from school today... Thanks Krissie for the great idea!
The "I LOVE ME" List
1. What do you absolutely love about your body?
2. When did you surprise yourself with your physical strength?
3. When were you braver than you ever thought you could be?
4. When did your self-control blow you away?
5. What is your proudest moment ever?
6. When was the last time you felt absolutely beautiful?
7. Why do you deserve to meet your goals?
I have so much to comment on in your blogs, so I'll be stopping by tonight! Have a wonderful 'most depressing day of the year'!

WOO-HOO!!! Good for you!
Girl, you are rockin! I am so impressed!
And I can't have anything to do with green tea. Drinking, vitamins, anything makes me incredibly nauseus. (I have no idea how to spell that. I've tried every way possible, and nothing looks right. You know what I mean.)
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the loss. What a great accomplishment.
congratulations, you are so awesome. I on the other hand are UP 8 pounds. what?>
