Mid-March Weigh-In!

Hey everyone!

Just had my mid-March weigh in this morning!

Things are looking better!

My weight went from 258 lb to 254 lb.

So, I lost 4 lbs since February 18th.

All my measurements also maintained or went down, but I'll get to that later.

That means I'm right on track with losing about a pound a week.

I'm so excited I'm seeing good numbers!

I've made such a huge change in my everyday life, and it's wonderful to see it paying off.

Before I started this, I was consuming at least 4-5000 calories a day, and that was when I wasn't even that hungry.

We would eat fast food almost every day, sometimes twice a day.

I haven't even started with my exercising much yet, because I just want to get myself stuck on this eating healthier thing first.

If I try to take on too much change at once, I might get overwhelmed and quit.

Still, even just changing my eating habits has lead to a 9 lb weight loss in just over a month.

And there was a week of vacation and nothing but convenience foods in there!

I'm still struggling with cravings and portion control, but it gets better each day.

I can feel my stomach shrinking a bit and I'm finding it harder to finish big meals that once upon a time, wouldn't even fill me up!

For the first time in years, we have LEFTOVERS.

I just love this. And I'm so happy I'm doing it.

And I'm so happy my fiance is doing it with me!

We plan on joining a local gym called Planet Fitness.

Some of you may have heard of it? It's an up and coming thing.

It's only $10 a month, and it's open 24 hours M-F and 7-7 on weekends.

It's very important to us that we get a 24 hour gym because Matthew always has crazy work schedules and sometimes we just can't do anything except late at night when he gets home.

PLUS, I'm waiting to hear back from an audition I did.

If I get this job, it's possible I'll be working 14-16 hour days, 6 days a week until september.

I'm still kind of hesitant about the whole gym thing, from hearing all the rumors about nosey and rude members lurking around them, but I know it's for the best.

Anyways, back to the celebration!

I'm down 9 pounds, with 94 pounds to go!
