TOM & 1/2 lb

Well, it isn't much but it is a loss so I wont complain to loudly. I lost 1/2 lb this week. TOM showed up and is kicking my tail. I haven't had the cravings that I usually have during this time of the month but I have felt generally fat and gross. My pants are fitting different so I know that I am retaining water like crazy. Hopefully it will all be gone by next weigh in. It is a curse I tell ya. I now weigh 207.5 lbs. Yay! I am well on my way to 199.

I was thinking the other day about how boring this blog is. I know why it is as dry as a piece of overdone toast. I haven't wanted to become invested in this blog or my weight loss. I figured if I kept myself emotionally detached then it wouldn't hurt as bad if I failed at this. The closer I get to losing 100 lbs (3 lbs more and I will cross that line) the more I start to believe that I can really do it. Yesterday morning I woke up believing for the first time that I can and will be healthy. Not just faking it until I make it. I woke up really believing it. Great and scary feeling. This whole time the only thing standing between me and success was me. What was I thinking? And this post was going to be super quick because I have to go run errands. :)

We rode our bikes Sat and Sun. It was so much fun! We rode for 5.2 miles on Sat. We rode on the Silver Comet Trail both days. It is so beautiful there. On Sun we rode for 7.2 miles. In all we rode almost 12.5 miles over the two days. My butt hurt bad for a few days after. I told Jon that I need a tractor seat to be able to ride my bike comfortable. That's what I get for having such a big butt! We went and bought me a bigger seat that kinda looks like a tractor seat Sun morning and that is what I used Sun. SO much BETTER. My butt still hurt from Sat's ride but it was better. I am hoping that we get to ride Sun. We will see, it might rain.

Alright, enough blabbing. I do have to run some errands. I am thinking that I will update my magic numbers post sometime today. Be on the lookout for it!

psst: Can you believe that I have lost 97 lbs!!!!!!
