10 pound victory!

So I've done it! On Friday morning I weighed myself and I'm happy to report I'm officially down 10 pounds since I've started counting calories and 20 since Christmas which was when I actually started trying.

 Well I really haven't been doing to much in the last week so there isn't much to report. I've been doing lots of walking and I've been staying within my calorie limit. A big concern of mine now that I've lost this weight is that I've hit my usual plateau... Once I get to this point I always seem to get it in my head that I can cheat and eat bad things or that I don't have to work as hard because I've already lost this much. I'm going to try my hardest to stay focused and continue to work out because if nothing else it's making feel alot better about myself.

 For the next half of this challenge (the last 15-20 pounds) I'm really looking forward to fitting into my skinny jeans that right now are snug but should fit perfectly in the next couple of weeks. I'm also looking forward to feeling great in a bathing suit and just enjoying myself this summer so I'm really hoping these positive thoughts will keep me going and give me the push I need to get through.
