I didn't think this day would ever come.

but it did. after a lot of hard work...and a few set backs....it's here.


I have lost 20 pounds!!!!


wow, that is so cool to say! and I have to say I am SO proud of myself, too.

I slowed myself down when my mom was here by not working out (okay, I did twice in 2 weeks, lol) but I still was very careful at what I ate and made sure to keep measuring and weighing.

then this last week has been pretty stressful around here. Stress for me means comfort food. Avoiding comfort food this time has added MORE stress and now my forehead looks like a connect the dot from all the darn zits that have moved in. but hey, I think I'd rather have those for a few days then an extra 10 pounds from eating 3 mini loaves of zucchini bread (I've made over a dozen with the zucchini from our garden for Darren and the kids).

so I've proven I can handle tough situations - and for that I'm proud too.


thank you for following me in my journey - and thank you all who have been so supportive and encouraging - I love you all!

now for the last 30 pounds......
