Week 4!

So today is the 4 week mark since I began a goal towards a healthier me. I'm happy say I'm down 17.2 pounds!

This week I lost 3.2 pounds. I'm pretty excited about that. I know this is gross, but look at what 3 pounds looks like. 

My ultimate goal is to lose 100 pounds this year.... my target date being Christmas day. So that leaves me with 82.8 to go. And whew, does that sound like a huge number.  I'm just taking it one day at a time though for now. 

I actually dusted off the elliptical and worked out three times this week as well. That is progress in itself. I'm not one of those that are particularly fond of exercise. Hopefully that will change as I go forward. I always feel better after. 

I found a great blog that has been so inspiring for me. It's called Runs for Cookies. I'm about the same age as her, have 2 kids like her, and have 100 to lose as well. I've loved reading all about her weight loss journey, and it gets me even more pumped about mine. She accomplished her goals through plain ole diet and exercise as well. She looks absolutely beautiful! 

And we both share a similar philosophy it seems:

Anyway, I'll keep you updated on my progress throughout. Still have a long way to go, but I'm super excited about how it's beginning.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
