Whoops!

Well, clearly I didn't keep my promise to stay more active on here than I was last semester! Life and school gets so busy that this is one of the last things on my mind. (Especially since no one really reads this and therefore I'm not really letting any followers down by not posting...)

But anyway! I was right in my last post that I would most likely be within 3 lbs of the 155 lb goal I set for myself for Christmas morning. I weighed in at 157.8 lbs on Christmas morning of 2012! I was so incredibly excited that I had gotten so close to the goal I set for myself! My family doesn't really celebrate much of Christmas due to financial reasons, but that was a good of gift as ever possible!

On New Years morning of 2013, I weighed in at 157.2 lbs, meaning I lost 34.8 lbs in 2012!!! Especially when I remember that I didn't start this weight loss journey until the beginning of May, I'm pretty darn proud of myself! Some people who have a lot more weight to lose than I did would've probably lost more in that time, but like I said, I didn't have that much to lose so it was a little slower. I'm also pretty proud that I really didn't exercise much of that weight off at all; that's almost ALL diet! That's almost all due to my lifestyle change!

Now I'm  back in the same boat as I was just before Christmas. I am SO CLOSE to the 140's that I can FEEEEEEEEL IT. I've been somewhere between 150-152 for the last few weeks and my lowest was last week at 150.2. I would absolutely LOVE to be in the 140's before April, and therefore put me within a few pounds of being considered a "normal" weight for someone my height, which is 145 lbs.

I mean, how great would that be as a birthday present to myself? Going from being considered "obese" last year to being "normal" this year? Especially because I'm rounding out my "teenage-hood" and turning 20 this year. I am so pumped to start my "adult" life off on the right, healthy, active (ish, lol) foot!
