25 Pound Ring

I got my 25 pound ring two weeks ago, on October 17th! Last week I weighed in at -29.4 pounds. I feel like I have lost a bit more this week and I am hoping to at least hit -30 and get another star. Can't wait to get my 50 pound ring!

Goals I have meet...

Well, I have to admit, I am getting a bit bored of this weight loss journey and I need to get the move on again.... I made some small goals awhile back and these are the ones I have meet...

1. Five pound stars: at the time I made the goal, I had 2 five pound stars, as of now, I have 4 and I am .4 pounds away from getting the fifth star. Also, I will get the 25 ring to go on my key chain at the same time.

2. 10% key chain: I got it!

3. Get below 200 pounds: that happened last week, the scale said 199 which made me feel great!

4. Wear size XL/14: I am wearing a size 16 jeans today and they are practically falling off.... I officially wear a size XL/14 now.

5. Jog instead of walk: I measured the distance I usually walk and it is 1.4 miles. I started really pushing myself to jog more the last few weeks and I am jogging about a mile of it now. I hope to jog the 1.4 miles within a week or two.

And another great thing that happened: I now can get out of the tub and wrap a standard size towel around me and actually cover everything up!

I know I want to keep going and get to goal and stay at goal....I'm just going through a bit of a slump right now. Not that I am totally pigging-out or anything, I am eating a few more things like crackers and peanuts. I make sure the crackers are high fiber though. I also eat treats on occation, but I make sure I eat only the serving size which is not much.

I havn't been counting my points the last couple weeks. What I really want to do is get to where I listen to my body rather than counting points, but the last week, I really have not been doing either. I think it is natural to drop some pounds, start to feel better, and ease up on your efforts. Need to get going again....
