Success, bit by bit by bit

I weighed this morning and found that over the course of the past week, I dropped three pounds.  I also shaved an inch off my bust, two and a half inches off my waist, and half an inch off my hips.  All the walking and the eating right have contributed to this.  I feel SO good and am so proud of this accomplishment.  Every week will bring new successes and for that I'm thankful.

Instead of focusing on the 97 pounds I need to lose, I'm focusing on eating right and exercising every single day, knowing that my actions today will get me where I want to be tomorrow.  I am still amazed at the quality of my sleep since I've begun this regimen.  I actually sleep all the way through the night without waking, and when I do wake up, I'm totally refreshed!

After we voted yesterday, Dean and I went to Stone Mountain and I climbed much higher than I did on Sunday.  My leg was bothering me a bit, and my heart rate was way high, so we stopped and came back down.  Tonight, I want to go even higher.  I can't remember what that trail looks like, since it's been about 15 years since I've climbed it, but still...I love Stone Mountain and the exercise I'm getting there. 

I've got 12 weeks till the wedding.  At this rate, if I keep on going, I can lose approximately 30 more pounds, which will put me where I wanted to be at that time.

I'm shooting for 37.  :-)
