Today was the day, and today I am celebrating!

I went into Curves this morning and did the deed. And low and behold, I have lost eleven pounds!!! I was SOOO happy to see that number! When I weighed myself two weeks ago, I was overwhelmed, with it being my heaviest weight ever. But, I have stayed the course, and I have proven to myself that I can do it! It's just going to take time, and lots of hard work. I also had her take my measurements, because I know that the pounds will most likely be slowing down as I build more muscle. So I wanted to be able to look at the inches as well. When I had initially started Curves, fifteen months ago, I was 249.2 pounds, just 5.6 pounds lighter than my heaviest weight two weeks ago. BUT, I have lost a total of 20.5 inches around my body since my very first workout fifteen months ago. And you know, as long as I can keep going down in my clothes sizes, I am one happy lady! I wore a new pair of pants for the first time yesterday. My little sister had given them to me last August, but I wasn't able to wear them comfortably. But I wore them all day yesterday, and I felt so good in them! Another cool thing that I did yesterday was stay away from the junk food at our neighbors house. We went over there with a few others to watch the Seahawks game. And let me tell you, I wanted those over sized salty pretzel sticks SO BAD!!! I just kept eye balling them, as I drank more and more water. Well, when it was all said and done, I did not sucumb to the pretzel sticks, but I did drink a whopping 14 glasses of water to help me abstain. (14 for the day, not just during the game, for those of you who think maybe I'm a bit crazy).
Anyhow, it's Monday, I've worked out, and I'm feeling good. Here's my stats for the last few days:
Day 12: 1,275 calories, 10 glasses of water, workout

Day 13: 1,265 calories, 10 glasses of water

Day 14: 1,255 calories, 14 glasses of water

Today so far, just a cup of cheerios, and a cup of coffee. Yeah for me!
