Weigh In

Well, today is just starting and has been a great day! I did my 3 mile workout this morning after I weighed in, which was a happy weigh in!!! I lost 5.4 pounds this week! I'm so excited! I have worked hard for it this week though. I did a total of 18 miles with my Walk Away the Pounds workouts and 9 miles on my bike this week. What a huge difference from recent months. And for the first time in quite a while, I have stopped hating myself. I have my goal set, which I'm working at very hard. And I have done a lot of thinking this last week. I turned into the person I didn't want to be. I told myself when I quit working that I would still get up everyday and fix myself up. Well, I haven't done that. I have let myself go physically, and I finally realized that I deserve to take the time and make myself feel better. So last Friday I started. I have been curling my hair everyday whether I go somewhere or not, I have been painting my nails again (which for some reason helps me feel better - I feel more feminine) and I've been working out everyday, sometimes twice a day. For the longest time, I wouldn't even walk to the mailbox across the street, for fear of people seeing me. It took all I had to go bowling every week, even though I love to go. But now I am feeling better about myself and I don't hate myself. I know that it is going to take some time and hard work, but I will get back to my skinny self once again! I just feel like a completely different person now! And in a few months, hopefully my goal will pay off and I will get the reaction that I've been wanting for quite some time now! So check back next week and see how I did!

Lane County Fair

Here are a few pix from the fair. I kinda forgot to break out the camera more, so I didn't have a whole lot of variety. These will have to do for now! We're going to the WOE Fair though, so I'll try to get some more then.

Gabe was waiting patiently for the carousel to start.

Smiley & Gina - this is the closest we got to the ice cream! We were good girls. :)
