8 Weeks!

So, my hope for this weeks weigh in was to be down to 249.4 which would make it 25 pounds down in the last 8 weeks. I didn't make it quite there but I was SO close! My weight was 249.6! Only .2 pounds away from a total of 25 pounds. Lately I have been seeing amazing results from the changes I have made in my life. I don't want to call it a diet because it's not a diet. It's not something I am going to be doing for a little while to get where I want and then stop doing it. That would result in me gaining it back just like any other time I have dieted. No, this is a LIFE CHANGE. One I am feeling great about. I have noticed my clothes fitting a lot better or even getting baggy and needing a belt. Well, last night I was brushing my teeth and looked in the mirror...guess what I noticed! My double chin is almost gone!! LOL I was so excited that I ran into my room and pointed it out to Ken. Today I took a picture of myself and compared it to a picture I took of Jacob and I in July. I can see a pretty big difference! I love noticing these differences. It makes me that much more motivated to keep losing the weight and finding more differences.

Last night I was doing my exercising and Jacob came in about half way through and was doing it with me. He is so cute when he is trying to do the exercises. He also helps me in a big way. He distracts me from how hard they are because I am laughing at him and before I know it, I am done!

I can't believe that I am already just about a third of the way to my goal! WOW! I just realized that! In 8 weeks, I have managed to get 1/3 of the weight off that I want off. I only need 51 more pounds until I am at my goal! How exciting is that?! VERY!!

I am tired already but still need to do my exercise. Jacob is watching Thomas the Train right now so as soon as he is done, I am going to do my exercise, cool down, shower, then go to bed! It will still be around an hour and a half before I get to bed through :./ I guess I will live though.
