17 pounds.

so i am down 17 pounds since starting the take shape for life program with the help of my beloved health coach. i have goals and ideas and i'm excited. yesterday was difficult. i wanted so badly to indulge in pizza alongside my nephews and husband. instead, i had chicken and broccoli. i'm proud that i did not cheat. i took a small taste, but left it at that. then today, i made a program approved pizza! :) it was delicious! oh man. love. love. love. i'm definitely interested in trying more meals. a woman who has put together a compilation of program approved lean and green meals is a GOD SEND. there are a lot of recipes i'm eager to try. :)

now that i'm 17 pounds down, my clothes are definitely fitting differently. if i wiggle too much, my pants fall off. my shirts are baggier. and my cheeks are showing off my dimples that i have not seen in years. :) so its all very exciting. very. :) :) i'll post a picture after one month of being on program... i'll post before and after. obviously, i still have a long road ahead of me, but this is the first time in my life that i feel confident that the weight is going to continue to come off... instead of losing all this weight and gain it all back and more. i'm feeling quite confident these days. God has blessed me with a great help and opportunity. praise God for his help.

i'm off for now. super tired. goodnight.
