I do not want to turn the blog into a constant discussion on weight loss but I felt the urge to post this weekend on my current success. When I went into weight watchers on Saturday morning I found out that I had hit a personal goal of 35 pounds. This was something that I did not think I could accomplish when I started weight watchers in August of last year. My attitude though towards what I can accomplish has made a complete 180. I am at a place now where I believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I feel a gazillion times better than I ever have and I have more energy than before. I have no secrets or special foods or drugs. I eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and lean meats. I don’t deprive myself and I eat when I am hungry. Exercise used to be a pain and I used to loathe it. Now I see it as a stress reliever and a part of staying healthy. I change up my workouts often and enjoy running on the treadmill, biking outside on trails, and walking around the lakes. I am a visual person and I wanted to see what 35 pounds looked like. Justin helped me take a picture at the grocery store of bags of flour. Each bag of flour is 5 pounds. I figured out that I have lost 7 bags of flour. (excuse the other groceries in the picture)

Woo hoo!
