Say cheese!

I'm smiling wide this morning. In just 2 short weeks I have on a belt I haven't been able to wear in about a year.

Just when I look in the mirror in only my under garments & get MAJOR discouraged...I say the hell with it and grab the belt.

Voila!

I'm at the first notch only, but without pain & the Guiness Book of muffin tops. Can't wait to get weighed Monday. Anticipating I'll be buying 2 charms for my first little celebration. If not, one is ok. Not gonna complain!

I head to my trainer today, Kim Henry (look her up, she rocks!) to get my workout routine. It will be nice to have a plan when I walk in the gym. It's real easy to get bored and burnt out when you just stand there not reallying knowing what to do. I go balls out on the elliptical and then go "now what". Give me some structure. Forever a toddler!

I really look forward to hitting my goals with her. Lot's of little hooray's and high fives for months to come. It's the mother ship that will really rock my world. She has watched me struggle for 3 years and been my best cheerleader. Never giving up on me. I imagine what that moment on the scale will be like. It's a beautiful sight.

For now I continue on the My Fitness Pal app counting calories. Watching my carb intake. So far so good. Searching out 100 calorie snacks. Those are GREAT!

Yesterday I received a little package on my front step. A member of my "malitia", family from Omaha, sent me a care package of workout clothes. LOVE YOU MJ! I can't wait to flaunt my normal exercise pants at the gym! I'll feel somewhat normal in there.

One day at a time!
