Weight"Less" Wednesday: -1.8

I DID IT! I met my goal weight. This weight loss journey began 66 pounds and 5 months ago! I still can not believe that I lost that much weight. As I was running my 2 miles last night (in record time; 16 min. 36 sec.) I was thinking about what I should wear for my "after" picture. Then it hit me "why not wear your workout clothes". So, here it is. I feel like I am accepting an award and I should give a speech. First, I would like to thank my very supportive husband. Without him I would have never been able to lose the weight. As I was running stadiums a couple of weeks ago I glanced over and there he was. I realized at that point that is what most women need. A supportive husband (or friend) who is just there for them. He has really been my rock throughout this. I need to also thank my mom. She kept the girls nearly every. single. day. for the past 5 months. She would watch them after working long hours at her job. It would have been very difficult to have exercised without someone to watch the girls. I should also thank my "biggest loser" group (especially John, Emily, and Josh) for all the encouraging words they have given me. Last but not least, I need to thank my Heavenly Father. There were many times that I cried out to Him for strength and he never left my side. I am telling you all the blood, sweat, and tears was worth it. I feel great! The journey does not stop here. I have lots of work left to do! We have a 5k this weekend and next weekend to get ready for.
