Milestones

Oh My God

I lost 3 more pounds and now Im under 200

I never thought I would be under 200 again. The first time I saw the scale go over 200 I said goodbye to the smaller version of myself. I am ecstatic to be under 200. I feel like I have just won a HUGE award. Thank you, thank you *takes a bow*  The biggest part of it is that I don't feel like its been that hard. It was not as hard as I thought. I mean it took work but I really didn't think I would be able to lose weight long term and keep it off. But now I know that I will. I just know I am not going to gain back the 49 lbs that I lost because I have made maintainable lifestyle changes. I have not gone hungry or done a type of diet that leaves you feeling desperate to eat. Although I watched a documentary called Fat, sick and nearly dead that I totally recommend. I  want to do a juice fast for a week. Not to lose more weight but for the micronutrients and detox. But anyway I am amazed at myself. I think now the goal (other than continueing to eat right) is to exercise at least 10 minutes a day. I know that may not do much but it will get me in the habit of exercising regularly. I know for my heart, I need to do that. I have to start now so I wont need a bypass at 50 or any of the other stuff my dad has now. 

Today is going to be a good day, even if my dad is a butthead
