Thats right! I am down another pound...woot! So excited! I think I might reward myself once I hit the 20 pound loss mark. I think it is very important to do that so that you have something to work toward and look forward to. Not sure yet what I am going to reward myself with but it will NOT be food. I never understand when people do that. Anyway, today wasn't such a great day. I made chicken salad last night and that is one of my favorite foods, even though I did great last night for dinner, there were leftovers and I couldn't resist them today so I actually didn't fast today. I ate lunch and dinner today and even though the things I ate were ok and mostly healthy, I still felt horrible that I had did that and not to mention my body just felt bloated. I was really disappointed in myself, but on the other hand this has been my first day in over 20 that I have been doing this that I have messed up, so I am not going to be that hard on myself. Plus I did a really good workout tonight. I rode my bike and burned 418 calories and then I did 110 ab crunches, stretches and even did some arm weights. I felt really great afterwards too. Other than the mess up today, everything seems to be going good! I am officially 118.6 pounds away from my goal weight. Which is still a lot but considering when I started this on September 6th I was 132 pounds away from my goal weight...that amazes me and I continue to be proud of myself. So, guess that does it for tonight. It is time for bed for me, I am exhausted. Talk to you all again in another couple days!

Down Down the Numbers GOOO!!!
Ok just wanted to post a really quick entry for everyone about my progress on the weightloss is going. I am still going strong with the intermittent fasting and am still 150% happy with it!! I am finding it so much easier now to not eat than I was, so really excited about that! I have been exercising every evening, still walking and riding my stationary bike. Today makes Day #18 for me and I am still totally loving it! I love how I am feeling and how my body is just so much more light feeling if that makes any sense. My pants are beginning to get a little loose on me, a few pair of my shorts are pretty big on me now, I haven't noticed that much of a difference in my shirts or bras yet but I know that will come.
I have to go now, got alot of cleaning to do before bedtime tonight as well as get a workout in..ugh...I am going to welcome the pillow tonight! lol But first here is my current weight!
CURRENT WEIGHT: 294.6 pounds!

Never Thought I'd be so Happy to loose my PANTS!
OMG I was in my makeup room last night doing my nails and I had to get up and grab something and when I did, my shorts totally fell down to my feet!! LOL! These same shorts that I had worn just three weeks ago and never budged when I put them on they stayed in place were now down around my feet and all I could do is stand there smile and do my best not to cry! I was so over joyed! The scales have not moved that much..maybe half a pound or so but not much, but evidently my body is toneing up from some of the walking I have been doing and from me riding my stationary bike. I feel great!
The fasting is still going really good. The past couple of days I have had to break my fast with a bananna during the day but nothing really substantial until my time to eat at 5pm. I have been exercising too every evening and really enjoying it. Walking with my sister is alot of fun, we talk and laugh and play around on our phones, listen to our music & giggle like a bunch of high school girls and I love ever second of it. Before I know it we have walked twenty laps around our apartment complex and it is dark and I am feeling great! Sometimes I even jump on my bike once I come in from my walk. I am trying really hard not to obsess over the scales not moving that much because I don't want to discourage myself like I did last year when I hit my plateaus, because it is going to happen, but apparently even though I haven't lost much weight since my last entry, my body is toneing up because my pants are getting bigger!
The only bad day that I have had since my last entry was yesterday and I was extremely grumpy. I dunno why, but I was. I felt really hungry to even after eating my normal fast breaking bananna, so instead of grabbing something else I just put the kids down for a nap and went and took a shower, got my makeup on, put on a nice outfit, did my hair and I felt ALOT better and didnt mess up my day as far as food goes. I was really proud of myself. That is very important, that when you do something good and succeed over a hardship, it is so important to toot your own horn so to speak and give yourself a nice pat on the back because you do deserve it! You faught the battle and won! I am not ashamed for saying I did great.
I am still feeling really energized and feeling really good about all of this. I can't wait to see more shrinkage! lol Talk to you all agian in a couple days! Any questions just ask!
CURRENT WEIGHT: 295.8 pounds!
