6 Weeks and -22

So far I have lost 22 pounds! 38 to go. I try not to think of how much more I have to loose. When I do that I want to give up. Whenever that thought comes up I change the way I'm thinking by remembering that I have been doing this diet for 6 weeks, I'm down 22 pounds and it really only feels  like it's been two weeks. Something else I choose to remind myself is that there are ALWAYS opportunities to cheat. If you do NOT teach yourself to say no, you WILL be saying yes a lot. Then, you will not succeed in your weight loss goals. In the last 6 weeks I have been to a baby shower, two birthday parties, a super bowl party, a house warming party, coffee with the girls, Valentines day & ladies night at my house. I think I've proved my point that there is ALWAYS an excuse to cheat :)
* While I'm writing this Blog my neighbor just stopped by with a plate of cookies, hahaha.
I have adjusted my orders to mostly Dutch Chocolate Shakes, Orange Shakes, Mint Chocolate Bars, S'mores  Bars, Strawberry Bars, Chocolate Pancakes, Mac & Cheese, Apple Oatmeal, Maple Oatmeal & Mint Chocolate Soft Serve.
Note: The Banana Shake tastes exactly like the banana candy Runts. The Mocha Shake tastes a little like the cappuccino, which I personally think it's nasty.
I'm still trying to stay consistent with drinking a lot of water. I can see a difference in my weight loss when I don't drink enough.

- 14 POUNDS AND COUNTING!!

I feel great! My fat girl clothes are not tight anymore which feels so good. Soon I can move down to my not so fat girl clothes:) I started weighing myself once a week(on Tuesdays). I recommend this because it gives you small goals to reach and also keeps you from discouragement on the days you have not lost anything.
Today My hubby did my measurements again and I am down 2 inches. We did the measurements in the beginning so this could be an encouragement to me and help me keep my eyes on the prize. The prize being........ A healthy body.
Another happy moment for me is I can now get my wedding ring off and have it cleaned. Hurray!
