Happy Halloween!
No candy for me today. I was so tempted the other day at our GS troop's Halloween party to eat a Reese's but I didn't. I was so proud of myself. You know what? As good as that Reese's would have tasted, it wouldn't have come close to how good I felt by NOT eating it. I was proud of myself, my will power and my committment to health/my future. It was great! Yea me! LOL!
I don't plan on eating any candy tonight. I'll be buying yucky kinds, so I won't be tempted at all (no Reese's in this house). I'll buy suckers and raisins to give out. Heck, kids eat too much junk anyway. Maybe I'll even buy some popcorn balls. I'll be the only one on the block giving away food that isn't completely bad for you. The kids will hate it! LOL! jk jk!
Our family will be hosting our 2nd annual Haunted House tonight. We set it up in our carport/garage. We worked on it for about 4 hours last night and have about another 2 to go until it's finished. We're going to finish it when the kids & hubby get home today. It'll be fun! I'll post some pics of it on the blog, just for fun.
Well...it's Halloween. I was part of a "Halloween Challenge" on Spark People. The goal was to lose 31 pounds by October 31st. I lost 29. I was very pleased with that!! My main goal was to be under 200 pounds by Halloween and I did it! I'm proud of myself!!
I'm looking at my notebook of measurements (I keep a notebook of weekly weights and measurements that I check every Thursday) and am so pleased with my progress. I started a complete set of measurements and a weekly weight on July 12th. I wanted to keep track of where I've been and my progress. I knew there was no better way to do that then to write it down. I'm SOOOOOOO glad I did!!
Here are the numbers since 7/12/07 these are my loss totals:
Pounds-40 pounds gone
Abs-6.25 inches gone
Sucked In Abs-7 1/8 inches gone
Chest-5.5 inches gone
R arm-5 inches gone
L arm-5 inches gone
Neck-1.5 inches gone
R thigh-3.5 inches gone
L thigh-3 inches gone
Pannus-5.25 inches gone
WOW!!! That's so awesome!! That's the first time I've totalled those numbers (and those aren't even numbers from the start of my journey in May, those are only from JULY!!).
I've lost 42 1/8" of FAT! OMG!! That's amazing!! I'm so glad I totalled those today. Talk about motivating!! Who would want to eat candy after that?!?! I'm on cloud 9! WOW...I really can't believe that. I've got to let that sink in . How cool!
Well.....on that wonderful note. I think I'm going to go exercise. I want to be sure to get it in before tonight's activities start. I think I'll go for a nice brisk walk.
Have a fun Halloween everyone!! Hugs from AZ,
Shannon
