Ok guys......I am finally there. It is not by much but that scale has had a 1 in front of those two 9's for two consecutive days lol........I hit my first mini goal at exactly nine weeks, only one week later than I had hoped and I have to be honest in saying my sleeve did all the work. I slacked off on my walking and Water but have still continued to lose. Not as quickly as I would have had I done all the great and wonderful things I planned on doing but hey, my decisions and outlook on food are so totally different now that I really feel slow and steady wins the race. So many times I have gone on a crash diet, lost 10-15 pounds in a month and gained back double in 2 weeks! I know that the 40 pounds I have shed are gone forever......My husband is thrilled and the compliments are nice especially since people don't know I had surgery! So my ticker says 54 more pounds to goal and I truly believe that once I start and finish the Insanity workout (60 day program) that ticker will read more like 25 pounds til goal. Lets do it guys we still have the whole summer ahead of us and a winter where we can rock the tall boots because we have calfs, ankles a waist to tuck those ooooober cute sweaters into our skinny jeans! Ah the rewards of a little sacrifice!

Next mini goal............going to think hard and make it a good one!

So true! I am getting back into so much I missed!
