Week Seven already!

Well it is week seven and I am still seeing success on the scale, and success in the energy I now have!  I lost 3 more pounds this week which puts me at 277!  I'm out of the 280's (Which feels great) and I am still moving forward!  This puts me at a total weightloss so far of 37 pounds!  I am hopeful that next week I will be down 40 pounds!  I am also close to another milestone. I only have 7 pounds to lose until I reach 100 pounds lost since I had Andrew!  How amazing is that!  Losing 100 pounds in just over four months!  Ok, so a lot of it was from retaining water, and obviously because I had a 10 pound baby in my tummy, BUT, Before I got pregnant, I was already at 340 pounds.  When I think about that, I have lost 63 pounds from my heavies non-pregnancy weight.  And that does feel pretty great. I only have 17 pounds to go until I am back down to the weight I was when I met my husband just over 6 years ago.  Only 27 pounds until the milestone of reaching 250 pounds AND only 13 more pounds until I have lost a total of 50 pounds since starting Take Shape for Life!  And it hasn't even been 2 full months on the program yet!  I'm excited about life, and where I am going.  This journey has even motivated me to start looking into things I have wanted to do for a long time, but have not had the confidence to do.  More specifically, I want to perform.  I want to be on stage, in plays, or in an orchestra making beautiful music.  I love performing arts and I am excited to be a part of them again!  My life long dream has always been to be on Broadway, in the play Les Miserables (Well, this has been my dream since I was like 14 anyway) and while, I don't see that happening, due to my family (Who I love to death and will always come first) I can still indulge in the performing arts here in Portland, or where ever we may end up in the future.    And why not!  I am confident, and beautiful, and talented!  And I am tired of hiding from my dreams.  So wish me luck!  There is so much life out there that I am just chomping at the bit to experience, and now is the time to go get it, and live to the fullest!

PS.  As a side note, I was curious, if I started posting some recipes on my blog if this would be something people might be interested in.  Please leave your comments and let me know what you think!  I love coming up with new healthy creations, and finding them on the internet as well, and would love to share them with you all!
