Feeling Better

So, I've come to the conclusion that (sadly) I was a tad ambitious with establishing a goal of 30 lbs to lose in 2.5 months. I've always been the over-achiever type. BUT....I am VERY happy with my newly gained commitment to exercise and healthful eating. This is the best I can do - for now, and a long time after. I didn't end up 30+ lbs. overweight overnight, and so these lbs. won't fall off over night. Slow and steady wins the race and I am happy that I could at least make that simple, yet profound realization.
Frustration

So, here i am a little over a month away from my deadline and am not on track. I am disappointed with myself. Busy-ness at work, long hours has made it hard for me to stay on course. My goal now? To lose as much weight prior to my deadline as possible - I'm NOT giving up just yet.
Weighing In...on myself.

Made it through the week. I've made my goal and intention public with coworkers. They think I'm crazy ( but, in a good way). What's nice is that I am surrounded by like minded people -- folks wishing / trying to lose weight, so I get constant reminders of what I'm setting out to do.
The good news? I've lost 1.8 lbs this week. :D
Even better news? On Monday I've decided to buy a gym membership, and REALLY use it. I can't afford not to.
Coming soon: a picture of me WITHOUT eyebrows....just enough to scare me thin, and encourage me to stay the course. Who would want to walk around looking like THAT? EW!!
Day one

So realizing that Weight Watchers won't do it for me, and making an EVEN GREATER discovery that I just have no discipline, I found this godsend of a website. The mere idea that my money could potentially end up in the hands of my ex is more than plenty motivation. 150 lbs....soon to whittle down to 120 -- I am SO excited!!
