Hello world!

It's a beautiful day! Kinda "Auntie Em" windy out, but the sun is shining and spring is defiantly pushing it's way to center stage. 

And oh, by the way, I now weigh 365. 

That's right, 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eighteen pounds in twelve days! I cannot believe it.  This was my starting weight back in 2011.

On top of this success I am proud to share that I achieved it while at an overnight trip for work that involved eight hours of driving. Alone. With my thoughts and no one watching.  I walked down three separate gas station convenience stores, aisle by tempting aisle, looking at calories and bargaining with the devil.  In the end I just got diet fountain pops and didn't cave at all!!  I really credit God for that and not some out-of-nowhere self control.  I actually asked one clerk specifically for the Easter Reese peanut butter cups (my favorite in the world) and she said they'd just sold out.  Thank you Jesus!

I did have to eat with the group during the meeting I was attending and ordered a concoction called Irish nachos.  These bad boys are basically deluxe nachos on waffle fries instead of chips.  Not the best choice for me, at all.  But I managed to eat a little less than half of it and was truly full! And instead of bringing it home to tempt me, the rest hit the trash on the way out.

I am so excited to see where this road will lead!  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
