Go me!!

Back from my meeting and all I can say is....I DID IT!! Today I weighed in and I had lost 6 lbs from last week.  Don't ask me how, because I have no idea, but even more momentous was that I finally reached my 50 lbs weight loss!! 51.8 lbs to be exact:)  I did it in a little over 5 months and its unbelievable!

So now a few things have to happen.  1. I need to keep going because I'm not there yet! But I'm gonna get there.  2. I need to go get a pedicure (lol and sigh), though I'm not in a rush to do that if truth be told.  However, I said I would do it and I will.  And I have one person who came out and said they would go with me and since only two people are actively reading my blog you can guess which of two it is and of course she's totally going to be there!

The most incredible thing though is that I have a little over 20 lbs to go to reach Onederland.  Onederland is a term I've seen all over the internet on weight loss sites.  It's the term used by people who are over 200 lbs to describe being 199 lbs and less! I can't even imagine what that day will be like but I am sooooo looking forward to it, there are no words.  I honestly cannot remember being in the ones.  The last 1 weight I remember was when I was 12 and my scale said 160 or somewhere there abouts.  Can you imagine a 12 year olds already 160 lbs?  Thats crazy, especially considering that at that point I was only about 5'4" or 5'5".  But this time its different, because I'm taller and because its means so much more now.  I can almost taste it and being that this is all about changing how I eat the ability to taste something is really important.

And so, here I am.  Standing close to the halfway mark on the climb up my personal mountain.  It's going to be hard and I know I'm going to fall back down a few times but its all about getting up again and continuing my climb, right? Right.  So off I go.
