June 24

         These past 5 weeks have flown by! I"m not sure if I've lost weight or not. I did lose a couple of more inches, this I know. Tomorrow is weigh-in. I always get nervous, and I don't know why. Yes, I do, it's that accountability thing again...If I weigh in, and I don't lose, or worse yet, gain.... I'm being held accountable...I don't like this.. Before weigh-in and after, I'm ok, I only have to answer to myself, but come weigh-in time...YIKES......

      Finally went through my clothes yesterday. All of my fat clothes are gone!! Even my green sweat pants!! They were special to me, I had them for at least 15 yrs. You know when you have that one special piece of clothing you cannot get rid of?? I'm rid of my comfort clothes. It was difficult to depart with them because in the back of my mind, I'm telling myself I should keep them "just in case" I gain the weight back. I figured out last night, that's how I set myself up for failure, keep the fat clothes, it's a safe haven for me, so I can go back to eating like I did before and not exercising, and I'll always have clothes that will fit, some were bought when I had gone on vacation and they have memories...excuses....FAT CLOTHES...........GONE FOREVER...................There, now I'm out of my cofort zone again...another stepping stone in my life!!

    Bob and I have been doing a lot of bike riding, and hiking, this I really enjoy. We rode the mountains in Perry the other night. Ok, maybe NOT a mountain, but if felt like it, we were going against the wind....and it was at least 50  mph.!  Or it felt like it anyways! It was a good ride though, and we both worked up a sweat!

     I'll continue this blog tomorrow after weigh-in. Wishing everyone success, wether you're in the challenge or not! If you're trying to lose weight, then we're all in the same boat! Keep it up, and take it one day, one meal at a time!! If I can do it, so can you!!

Many Blessings to everyone today, and looking forward to seeing the contestants tomorrow!!!
