Dream Jeans: Phase One

Day 65, February 26, 2010
Weight: 134.7
Loss from Last week: 3.1lbs
Total Weight Lost: 16lbs

I'm off schedule from my usual posting because of the big move so this number is actually more like a two week loss, but I'm really excited about this weeks numbers. Right on track with the nerd spreadsheet and more importantly, I'm wearing the first pair of jeans from my sequence of dream jeans today! When I tried them on last night I thought for sure the zipper was going to be busting at the seams like in weeks past, but surprisingly enough, they slipped right on! Actually, I can pull them on without having to unbutton or unzip them, so that's some major progress!

Working out this past week or so has been a total crapshoot because we were moving, but I think that moving in itself made up for it. I've been superb with eating- lots of Subway because of the move, so I've been doing really well with the calorie intake.

It makes me sooooo excited that the 120's are only about 6 pounds away! It's funny how it takes so much effort to get started losing weight and always seems like such a challenge. But after you get into the groove, it becomes so simple. One day at a time and as long as I keep on the same track, I'll be down to my goal in no time.

Which leads in to my next point of excitement- once I'm at a healthy weight Koa and I can really start trying to get pregnant again. We're certainly not preventing right now, but kind of using the family planning method. So the next couple of months will be pretty exciting. We are not going to be fanatical by any means because we want it to happen in the Lord's time, but the prospect is totally thrilling. Being healthier will be nice too. I was a little upset last time that I wasn't at a better weight and in better shape, so again, the prospect is exciting. Plus I assume the whole pregnancy process will be easier if I'm in good shape.

Well, until next week!
