Operation "get skinny" update

It's been a while since I posted any updates on my weight loss, so I thought I better stop in and say something!

As March is dwindling to an end, I was really hoping to hit a loss of 20 pounds. I'm only two pounds from that, but unless I stop eating for the next few days, it may not happen. I'm actually just thankful to be "stuck" where I am and not on the gaining side of my battle, since March was a rough month as far as health goes.

 I battled a nasty sore throat/cold for 10 days. Once that cleared up, I went for a walk outside and my ears got really cold..triggering some type of ear infection/sinus infection. I don't know what it was, but the snot was flowing again and my ear really hurt. Then to top it all off, I got a new tooth brush that irritated my gums on one side, so half of my mouth was inflamed and very sore. Lol, anything else? During those 2 1/2 weeks, I wasn't able to work out, as being able to breath, is a necessity while exercising!

Thankfully my appetite was slightly suppressed during that time and no weight was gained. But here I sit, desperately yearning to announce "I'VE LOST 20 POUNDS." Soon my friends, SOON, it WILL happen.

Just when I start to feel a little down about my seemingly slow progress, I get a boost, by putting on a t-shirt I wore last summer, that is now baggy. Or my work pants I wore just 6 months ago, that are two sizes too big now. It's those little reminders that keep my momentum going.

I CAN, I WILL, I AM
