When a man you admire (for his intelligence, of course!) comes up to you at a business meeting and says to you, “Wow! You are looking great! Have you lost weight?” you almost don’t know whether to kiss him or deck him. I did neither of those, but I did give him a mighty swift head nod and thank him profusely for noticing. (Personally, the only place I really notice I’ve lost weight is in my cups…and you ladies know exactly what I’m talking about)
To date, I’ve lost 19 lbs…but I had those two weeks where I totally fell off the wagon (like that’s really possible – let’s be honest – I gorged and ate like a pig) and gained 4 lbs…now I’m down 5 for the last two weeks. Here, let me calculate that for ya…I’m down a total of 15 pounds. Under a 2 lb a week weight loss, which is not so great. But, like I always say…it’s 15 pounds I never have to carry around on my body again.
Focus…focus…focus. My mantra for the next week. Oh yes…and I’ll be praying a lot too.

Losing my boobs was one of my biggest fears, but they have been doing pretty good thankfully! Keep up the great work!

Isn’t is great when people start to notice?
