Well, we had a wonderful vacation in Yellowstone. Now that we are home, I'm even more eager to lose more weight!! I feel really good right now, but know that my weight can get lower on the scale. I'm about 2 pounds from my WW goal, which makes me ecstatic! So, that is my focus right now. Once there, I have a goal to get 10 pounds below that. I originally set my WW goal at the higher end of the spectrum. I know I feel good at goal, but know I feel even better 10 pounds below that. It's funny because I don't feel as "skinny" as I did when I have been at goal before. I know it has a lot to do with having 2 kids. There are just some things that don't go back to where they were. I just have to come to terms with that. It's just hard to still see a roll when I sit or whatever. I want it GONE! I think another 10 pounds will help ease that frustration a bit.

I'm Back and full of Motivation!
It has been nice to start doing some shopping. I have bought 2 new pairs of jeans. It's been a long time since I've done that. Not because I haven't had the money or have been told I can't, I just didn't want to. I felt gross and fat and had NO desire to shop. I love that the desire to shop and look good is slowly coming back. The best thing is to grab jeans off the shelf and think they're gonna be too small and tight and to realize that you can put them on and pull them off again without unzipping or unbuttoning! That is an AWESOME feeling. I can say I had a HUGE smile on my face when I had to go not only 1 size smaller, but 2 sizers smaller than I thought I was when I walked into the store! YAY!
Another great bonus of my weight loss journey is that my husband has decided to start his own weight loss journey. This makes me SO HAPPY! I love my hubby dearly and love him no matter what he looks like, but also want him to be healthy and around for a long LONG time. It makes me so happy that he's deciding to try to lose weight and is starting with little goals and going from there. He's already lost 8 pounds in a week! I'm thrilled that he's having this new outlook on life and health!
Well, that's about all I have to report right now. I'm sorry I haven't been around for awhile, but plan to be back full force and checking out all of your blogs. I hope to find even more weight loss buddies and get even more motivation!
Have a great week!

You have been missed! Good to see you back! You are really close!
Oh and in case your interested, I have a new blog and I am having a give away. The blog address can be found when you click on my name.
yeah! glad you are back!
this week i was able to put on some jeans that i bought at this time last year on clearance and said "i bet i never get my butt into these"!!! yeah for victories in the jeans department!
WOW! How awesome that you are so close to your goal! I am thinking I could lose more than the goal I set too. I have only had one other baby since last time I got near to goal, but I think I remember looking better than I do now. Hmmmm...
Thanks so much for your kind comment on my before and after pics! :)
YAY on your dh wanting to be healthy too! Mine is actually drinking more water lately. If you knew my dh, you'd know what a huge step that is! LOL
I am so thrilled for you to be two sizes smaller in jeans. I cannot wait to get to goal and buy me a new dress and jeans! (My reward for getting to goal will be the shopping for new clothes hehe)
