YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
It feels so very good to be going down!
If you haven't read why I've been feeling so happy lately, make sure you read the post before this one first. Still pinching myself...
I'm getting closer to my goal of 145. Heck, I might even make it 140! Now that I know I won't be in a size 12 forever, I'm beginning to think that anything is possible! Seriously... you just can't possibly know what that did for my spirits.
The ups and downs of weight loss are very real. The ups and downs on the scale, and the ups and downs emotionally. As long as I know that are going to happen, I think I will be okay. One who is trying to lose weight cannot expect the numbers to go straight down. I know that now. I am very grateful that I am on a down hill right now. I am also very grateful that I have all of your support when the numbers are staying the same, or worse - going up!
I will be in California next Sunday, when I usually weigh in and post. I'm really nervous to get off track while I am there. I just don't want to beat myself up if I don't do as well as I would like. I might be able to post while I am there for a little update - we'll see.
Still not one sip of soda. Actually, I'm lying. One day, I was desperate for a drink of anything and the only thing around was Chip's soda. I took a swig and guess what? I hated it!!!!!! It felt weird and tasted strange. I'm glad that happened actually, because although I have stayed away from it, I kinda missed my friendship with my diet pepsi, and thought about it often. :) I don't anymore though - I've moved on. Maybe there is a connection with quitting diet soda, and seeing the numbers on the scale go down and fitting into a size ten? Hmmmm.. I wonder. I'd like to say my sacrifice of soda has helped me these past couple of weeks. Even if it hasn't, I think I'll believe it did!!
Thank you everyone, once again, for your love and support. Can't do it without you!

Tracy,
I read your last post a little earlier and hoped to post on that, but the kiddos kept me from doing that - and now I jumped back on and read this post - just awesome!!! Congratulations on the size 10, and the no soda, and the continued lowering of the numbers...one thing after another - this must all go a long way in validating all the effort (sweat, tears and more sweat!) you've been enduring all these weeks! Congratulations again!!! I hope you have a fantastic time here in SoCal for your sister's wedding (Elliott and I could not think of a better day in which to get married! June 7th is very special to us - will be 12 years ourselves! And SoCal is MUCH cooler than AZ in June!) :) Enjoy spending time with your family and wearing those size 10 pants!!! Keep it up (actually, DOWN) - you're doing great!!!
How very very exciting! Tried any of the raspberry lemonade Crystal Light yet? You'll love it. I'm quite convinced that the soda has something to do with it. I've just seen too many articles that say that even though it is "diet", it still isn't good. What has the most to do with it though is your determination and willpower. Way to go and what an example you are to the rest of us who haven't quite made the commitment yet. Do you have to wear a belt with your weigh in pants yet? (What size are they? Soon you'll be able to make a commercial using them!) Congratulations again!
Love,
Mom
Okay, I'm quitting diet soda this week! I know it's not good for me, but it's been addicting for me for the last month. I'm sure there's a connection between that and my gains. It's going to be another one of my goals for the week.
You are doing so well Tracy! Thanks for being so inspiring and thank you so much for your support as well!
Hey Girl,
You are doing awesome! Way to go! I just checked your blog this morning and I am so proud of you! I knew you were losing weight and looking great! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU ARE DOING IT! WAY TO GO TRACY!!!!! Jen Jenkins
Yahoo!!! Way to go!!! Remember how good those size 10 pants feel and pass on the wedding cake (or just have one bite)! :)

You are AMAZING! Congratulations, Honestly, I'm jealous, but really really happy for you. Good job girl
Man you are way ahead of me. I'm sitting at 174, down fifteen pounds from last week. But then this morning I got on the scale and it said 165, I was elated but suspicious. When I got off the scale it was at negative ten, hmmmm. The kids were messing with it, turns out I was still at 174. But I'll try to catch up with you!
