Losing Weight - Back in the 170s!

I am back in the 170s today as I stand on the scale and weigh myself! I am ecstatic. It's not just losing the weight that is making me feel so great. It's the accomplishment. It's the feeling that I know I can do it. My short term goal is to lose another 10 lbs. in the next six to eight weeks. I think that's doable. My long term goal is to lose at least 30 more pounds. I don't even know what I'm going to feel like when that happens.

In writing this walking to lose weight blog, I feel like those reading this might think that I'm only thinking about losing weight and that's it. I don't think about anything else. Well, that's not entirely true. I have a life. :-) To introduce myself a little, I'm a mother of two beautiful children, one three and one five year old. They are very energetic and constantly demanding and joys to be with...most of the time. Then there's my very loving, very adorable husband...who I sometimes can't stand, but it's all good! And of course, I can't not talk about my home business.

When I'm not thinking about losing weight, the above is where my thoughts are. I am a mother and a wife and then a business woman. What more can I say! Losing weight is putting all of those other more important things into perspective. I can't forget to take care of my health. That's what I was doing. I was gaining and gaining and gaining weight and without even realizing it, I went from a comfortable 140 something into an almost 190 something pounds. I'm sure that you know it didn't happen over night, but like a fine glass of white wine, it just crept up on me. However, I'm back in the business of losing weight and feeling great. What about you?
