Even with all the celebrations that have been going on – My daughter’s bridal shower and a friend’s daughter’s baby shower – I’ve been sticking to my plan and with a week left to the month, I hope to have lost at least four pounds this month. But beyond that, I’ve hit a big milestone: I have passed the halfway point to the weight I want to be. In addition, since starting this journey in January, I’ve lost a total of 39 pounds. I big goal to reach, but only one stop along the journey to being healthier. In the months since I’ve started, I’ve made quite a number of lifestyle changes and am happy about where I am, but also determined to keep on going. Last, but definitely not least, I’m determined that this time the change will stick for good. Why? Because my current lifestyle seems to be one that I can continue in the future, namely eating healthier and exercise routines that I can keep without too much difficulty. In any case, here’s a photo of where I am now and wow, I am so happy!
