For the first time in years, I weigh less than 240!!! I honestly can't remember even being on the 230's on my way up in weight; I remember being about 225, and then I was nearly 250 before I knew it. At the time, I was in a financial mess and was about to lose my house, so the stress eating attributed to the rapid weight gain, and I avoided the scale like the plague, on top of all the other things going wrong. It feels great to be here and also to know that I won't be here for long!
We are celebrating some at different restaurants this month (including Cinzetti's!), so I might take 3-4 weeks to lose this 10 pounds, but I am really looking forward to being in the 220's again. I should hopefully be down another pants size by then too! I'm working on firming up my tummy with ab exercises and core strengthening, but I haven't been as consistent as I would like.
The weather is gorgeous out this week (very unseasonable for July in Missouri!), so we will be out enjoying it as much as possible. That might inspire me to do some extra exercising while it is so nice. Have a great week!
