I stepped on the scale this morning to the tune of 2 lbs down since last week! Hooray! I’m down 41 lbs overall, which means it’s time for my next mini-reward: scheduling a massage. I have been wanting this massage since September! I am going to savor it.
This past week was so much better than the previous week. I didn’t miss a single workout, and I stayed on-point with my calorie and nutrition goals. The consistency and effort definitely paid off. I’m so thrilled to be at the low end of the 160s for the first time in years . . . so close to opening my Large box of “skinny clothes”!
Today we’ve been experiencing a freak snow storm down here in Austin, Texas. Here’s a souvenir picture of my happy snow face:
This is a good moment to stop and appreciate my progress, because that coat used to be way too tight! Now it’s got plenty of room for me and I love it.

You rock! And by the way? LOL at your snow ‘storm’!

I know, I know . . . I can’t help it, though. I’ve been down here in Texas for too long! ;)

YEAH!!! You are awesome, Hilary! I love this picture of you:) Guess what I did last night, I joined a gym!! I had quit a couple of years ago thinking I just couldn’t afford it anymore, but they offered me a great deal to get me back and I jumped on it. I’m so psyched! I have a consultation with a trainer tonight after work:)
24. February 2010 at 9:07 AM
YAY, Janie! Let me know how your trainer consultation goes, if you get a chance. I’m so glad that the gym offered you a reasonable deal to rejoin!
