    I know a pound a week doesn’t seem like much but think of it as 4 sticks of butter!! You’ve gotten rid of 8 sticks of butter - awesome progress 👏👏👏

    6/7- 222.0
    6/14- 221.2
    6/21- 223.4 (knew it was coming, I slacked in logging and ate all the things on our Texas vacation)

    07/15/19: 199.6 - ONEderland!! I’ve gotten rid of 9 lbs. ordering wedding dress a size smaller is a real motivator. And I started a low carb diet that is really working for me, along with a lot of walking. I don’t know if I’ll make my 20 lb goal but at least I’m moving in the right direction.

    I have been "out of the loop" as of late...my husband lost his job a week and a half ago and it has left me scrambling to pick up extra classes at the Y and kind of lost in a funk, but I will get back in the swing of things this week!

    7/19 219.6. I think I've finally broken free from the 220's. I haven't seen anything lower than 220 since 2012. Only two weeks until my first PD of the year and then 3 weeks after that is the official first day of school. Summer is flying by.
