Anyone who has read my blog knows that I’ve been floating between 242-244 forever it seems - seriously, like since April.  Well, what did I weigh this morning?  240!!!!  I was down 2 pounds and 4 inches!  I can’t believe it!  Well, I CAN believe it, actually, because I’ve been working my butt off (literally), and I started the Weight Watchers program this week.  I think I was really cheating myself all along by THINKING I was eating healthy, but I had no guidelines I was following.  I never realized how much I was snacking between meals and eating empty calories until I started keeping track of my points.  I was sneaking in candy, snack cakes, and other extra junk, even though I ate relatively healthy at mealtimes.

 Anyway, I am so excited to finally see something under 242!  Next week I should be in the 230s, which is exciting because I was 228 when I got pregnant.  Once I get to that point, all of the pregnancy weight will be gone, and I’ll just be working on the 53 pounds I gained during my first 3 years of marriage.  LOL  After that, I’ll just be 25 pounds from my final goal.  If I break it up like that, it doesn’t seem quite so bad. 

 I’m going to go post on the Survivor Challenge boards now … I feel like I actually have something good to contribute this week!
