I am so psyched...

Something that I meant to mention that a question from my friend Faith brought up is how much better my back has been since I have lost the weight I have so far. It only makes sense that carrying all of that weight in front of you is going to put a strain on an already bad back. I haven't had to go back to the Chiropractor since about April, and I haven't used my Tens unit in at least a month, and even then I think it was when I strained my back working in the garden.
Anyway I feel great about that, however problems with my feet are still pretty bad. I am very excited for weigh in day this week though as I am hoping to have made that 50lbs goal I mentioned oh so many times before.
I was looking over my diet journal, which has been getting more frequent use than ever and looked back at the early pages (when I first started in September I lost 25 pounds fairly easily and then came Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc... and I fell off the wagon for quite sometime. When I got back on it was after having the flu and I had lost the 8lbs which I had gained back over the holidays. I had made a chart in the back of my diet journal back in September though and it felt so good to see how truly far I have come. I have lost 48lbs, hopefully 50 this week. That is awesome. Last time I lost a lot of weight I wasn't really focused on it and trying, it was just stress and illness that made it happen, this time it has been all me(with God's help of course).
I just pray that God helps keep me on track and focused on my goal, so that next year at this time I will definitely need a new bathing suit.
Speaking of there is thunder and lightning so no pool today but I did laps last night so at least I got some in. Also I did get to do my exercises so I should be doing fairly well for my exercise this week. I am up to 20 reverse crunches, 30 regular crunches, and about 90 alternating standing crunches. I have a bunch of other core stuff that I do too but that isn't really something I keep track of numbers on, so...
But I am feeling better every day and I have more energy than I have in years. Maybe it is the guarana extract in my vitamins though...who knows all I know is that I can do this. Hopefully in the 4.5 months I think I can. It would be cool to be back to the weight I was when I met Greg by his birthday.
