70 Pound Mark!

Today as I stepped on the scale FINALLY, I have reached the 70 pound mark!! I have been waiting for this for what seems like forever!!  For the last few weeks, I have been hugging the 64 to 66 pound loss.  To finally hit the 70 just lifted my spirits!

I guess I have to ask, what has changed this week?

Through the last year, stress has ruled my life! However, about one week ago, my husband finally came home from Iraq. It's SO amazing how having someone here to help shoulder responsibilities reduces my stress!!  I can't say that's the sole reason I'm losing again, but man it totally helps big time! :)

Yes, I still have a ways to go. My goal is about 30 more! I know I keep pushing it farther and farther, but why not huh? You have to have something to reach for! So, my new goal: to lose 30 more pounds by June!

The weather is starting to get really nice, so outdoor trails, here I come...back to hauling 30 extra pounds on my back! Who'd like to join me?!
