whew...made it.

Down 1.6 lbs this week (so I blew by 18 lbs), and now I only have 11 left to make goal!

However, it's going to be another tough week ahead, with a baby shower and ladies night get- together. It seems like when I look back though, every week has had its obstacles. Whether it is eating out when the parents come to town, parties to go to, or vacations. So the fact that I've still lost this weight amongst a lot of "hard" weeks, should give me some confidence for the future.

I will say that I am not ready to face the challenge of Nov/Dec yet though. With my birthday, Thanksgiving, then Christmas parties and visiting 2 sets of relatives for the holidays, what a lot of desserts there will be to drool over!

I will really really try to get an updated picture up this weekend! I know I will look thinner compared to the first picture, but I am still flabby all over. Once I *hopefully* become a WW lifetime member, I want to apply that $40/mo to a gym membership to work on toning. I know it will make a big difference in my appearance even though I won't necessarily be losing any more weight at that point. I hope I can start this soon!
