"Loves means to look at yourself..."

Allow me to tip my hat- to my own doubt, a never-ending-constant, and to my own distant past, good bye 20 pounds!


I am in a celebratory mood this week. I've reached my 20 pound loss goal, and am quite ecstatic. Losing weight, ah yes, the never ending pursuit of my own disdain. Extreme diets have never succeeded with me, and upon choosing what route I would go in January, I decided to work on a sensible pursuit with the basics; total strength (2 to 3 times a week), cardio(1-3 times a week), and healthy eating habits.

My BMI officially puts me in the normal category, which is fantastic since I gained a considerable amount with the two pregnancies. The Steve Ward method help me track my weight goals, and kept me inspired each day. It was better to see that I was losing weight on the chart, even if it didn't show in the waistline. 


I still have a 10 pounds to go. I will be at weight that is much better than I was in my teens. I'm 110 percent satisfied with where I have come.
