Weigh Day Wednesday....

...and I'm back biotches!! :) I am so happy this morning I could dance....wait I've already done that. I finally hit the 20 lb loss mark. I lost 3.6 lbs this week and seriously cannot believe it. I did have a gain last week so it makes it really only a 2.2 lb loss but I will take it! I stepped on and off the scale four times this morning to make sure it was right.

Now I personally think any weight loss is amazing! If someone tells me they have lost 3 lbs I think that is awesome, because they have changed their habits and worked hard for something! However, not everyone thinks like that. For some reason I feel like when you're talking to other people (who aren't currently losing weight or don't need too) and you tell them how much you've lost 20 lbs or more makes it sound so much more "official."When people used to ask me how much weight I lost and I would say "oh 17 lbs" or "oh 13 lbs" they wouldn't be that impressed. But now that I've hit 20 I feel like I'm actually really in this weight loss game and that I'm sticking with it. And now when I say "oh I've lost 20" they may really take me seriously. But honestly, who cares what other people think. No matter how much weight you've lost you are AMAZING. It is hard and it sucks, but losing weight shows that you do have discipline and will power. Two things a lot of people don't have. 

Now for some pictures (warning: there is a hunting picture in here):
I have been wanting to try that Green Tea Jamba Juice that Mama L has wrote about. I can tell you that it was BOMB diggity dong, but 270 calories for a 16 oz which isn't TOO bad. Hunter had a chocolate moo'd and of course loved it and eating the cup. :)

I was hesitant to post this but I thought why not its my life right? My husband is a hunter. I used to be totally anti hunting but that is for a totally different post. Anyway, Hunter was FASCINATED with this pheasant. He kept saying "I wuv you birdie," pretty much melted my heart.
This is me about 2 weeks ago before going out for drinks with the girls. It was when I was down a little over 17 lbs. I did wear one of those tank tops that sucks you in a little! And yes my smile is scary in this picture. 

Well lovelies that's it for this weigh in post. My first 5k (The Color Run) is this Saturday and I am nervous/pumped!! 

Hope everyone is having a great week!

  12. It's so true, though! When you say "I'm down thirteen pounds" no one is very impressed. But, man. 20 sounds like SO MUCH! Great job!
