This plateau/ slump thingie has been quite aggravating. This week will be the week to break out of it, though, I just KNOW it! I was looking back on my weight tracker, and the last time I saw a new number was July 17. That was a month ago. Talk about depressing... This week I have finally had enough, though, and I really am ready to break through it and start the second half of this weight loss journey. The first 35 pounds came off so easily. It has been nice to go from really fat to just fat ;-) Now that my mind is set right, I feel like this next 35 pounds should come off relatively easy as well. I'm finding that weight loss is largely a mental game. I have to have my head right in order to see the best results. When I am anxious or scared, my weight loss suffers. When I'm brave and strong, the pounds melt away effortlessly.
I'm not really setting any goals for this week, just going to kick butt in the gym and hit the cardio hard and the weights even harder :-)
I am an active follower on your blog!! i totally love it that your normal! :) I have started my weighloss several times...this time its for real!

Although I am several months behind, and it seems impossible to catch up to you, my goal is to at least reach your goal! I don't dare take a before picture..there are plenty of those already...I'll send you a 30th birthday picture, if you'll send me yours!! Hopefully a lot less of me in the picture too! I don't care about the weight amount, I would just love to be a comfortable 12...or a tight 10!!!! Good luck and keep going! Here I come!
