So proud of myself

Yesterday I mentioned New Year's Resolutions and today I've got some great news I'm just bursting to share. I didn't really make formal resolutions or anything but I've decided to make being healthier a higher priority in my life and I want to... Lose some weight. Now I don't normally discuss weight and weight- related matters. At least not in mixed company and never on this blog before. But it's a part of my life and I'm going to let you people share in this journey.

Which, by the way, is going so much better than I ever imagined. Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and bought myself a scale. Then I weight yesterday afternoon and I weighed even more than I realized, but hey, that's why I'm doing this. Last night I did some meal planning ("failing to plan is planning to fail!) and researched good food an recipe ideas. I also worked some on my new notebook which will house all my recipes, quotes, stats, etc.

And readers, today I have some great news to share with you. This morning when I woke up, I weighed myself again. I lost 18 pounds.

I mean, wow. I'm so freaking proud of myself, it's not even funny. And all that hard work I've put in these last few hours really paid off. I just can't believe how good I've done. I've still got a log way to go, but at this rate I will be to my goal by like next Tuesday!

So for everyone who is out there, struggling with their resolutions, I'm sorry you can be as awesome as me and lose 18 pounds in one day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying.
