Last week wasn't so great for me, but at least I didn't backslide. This week I'm focusing on getting my calorie intake down and next week will be adding back in my exercise regime after I figure out how to work around my new physical therapy appointments. I should ask them if I'm allowed to use the pool after my appointment...

Aaah, I love shrimp soft tacos! Going to record that recipe so I can try it some time. Last ones I had were grilled with pineapple on skewers and basted in a tangy pineapple mustard sauce before going in the taco... yay for a hubby who enjoys grilling!

I'm finally off my month-long plateau and have hit the 32lbs down mark.

Feeling a lot fitter and healthier all round these days. i LOVE going to the gym. I'm working up to lifting heavy - upper body is my weak area - I'm only up to 70lbs there, but lower body, some of the machines I'm lifting 120lbs. I'll be going heavier each week. I'm also starting to get places with my running - I can run almost a mile now. I'm not fast, but I'm still lapping everyone on the couch - LOL!

Unfortunately I'm having to rest up a bit at the moment as I have an injury - ligament damage to my left hip which makes getting around quite painful at best and excruciating at worst. It's really annoying me though because I want to get back in the gym!!!

Just getting started in a kettlebell challenge. Things are happening, but slowly. In the past month I am down another 5ish inches. My thighs are shrinking, but I am hoping my tummy will more as well. I am about halfway to my current goal weight, but I am not feeling like my body shape has changed all that much so far. So for the next 2 months I am focusing on that.

I've got a wedding to go to and my family reunion happening the last week of July and the 1st week of August, and I really want to be down 2 more sizes by then. I need to focus on getting the right workouts in. And cutting my nighttime carbs!

Alright! You guys are awesome!

My update is going to be tomorrow as HOPEFULLY I will be reaching my goal weight. I was only half a pound away at the beginning of the weeks, so I am crossing my fingers!

Been falling behind with exercises, which sucks. But it WAS doctors and family orders...so I guess I can deal with that.

I still can't believe how close I am to my goal, I am beginning to wonder if I should add another 5 pounds (to lose) to my goal weight. I'd still be well within my healthy BMI, but would 5 lbs really make that big of a difference? What do you guys think? Should I do another 5, 10? I'll post pictures later for opinions I guess

Also, I will be (at least) my goal weight by my birthday, how awesome is that!!! (It's the 27th of this month !)
