First Weight Loss Milestone Reached!

Yesterday afternoon I finally built up enough nerve to jump on the scale for the first time in a couple of weeks.  I got a little discouraged because even though I felt I was doing really good on my diet and exercise, my numbers seemed to stall.  So yesterday afternoon, I felt it was time to weigh in again. And I'll have to say I was honestly shocked at the results.  I finally reach 10 pounds lost!  For me, this is the first significant weight loss in over 8 years.  Even though I will not hit my goal of being 220 pounds on my birthday (which is this coming Tuesday and I'm still 15 pounds above it); I am still ecstatic that I have succeeded so far.  And this means it's time to refocus my goals and charge on down...

App Review: Endomondo Sports Tracker

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Sorry for the lack of new posts over the last couple of weeks.  It has been incredibly busy on my end of the street as of late.  And on top of life in general, I was busy trying to meet my personal goal of 100 miles walked for the month of March.  Unfortunately, I did not hit my goal.  However, I came dangerously close! For the month of March, I logged 91.93 miles walked!  So even though I didn't get to meet my goal of 100 miles.  I came less than 10 miles short of it.  And for my first month, that ain't bad!  Considering up until March 1st, I wasn't active in much of anything other then everyday life.  So I am incredibly pleased with my progress and can't hardly wait till the end of April to see...
