Goodbye first 50lbs!

This week I hesitantly got on my scale at home. You know, the dreaded moment, expecting it to go up instead of down. Even though everyone says, it isn't about the numbers, it still is a way to track progress. I hadn't been to the gym in weeks, yes weeks. My Dad had been hospitalized (twice) and I had been out of town, working the election, and still trying to work. Some eating habits had started creeping back, but I forgot I had been mowing and doing yardwork. Even though I dread yardwork, primarily due to a snake phobia I have had since childhood, I honestly did not expect the numbers to be in my favor. Not to mention, it was a mid-day weigh in. I always weigh myself first thing in the mornings and make sure I wear as little as possible. You know you do it too! Who knows how much a flip-flop weighs? I was genuinely shocked to see the number. Not only had I lost weight, but I had finally reached a 50lb threshold. Actually 51.1 lbs to be exact. Coincidently, I had to drop something off at my doctor's office, so I got on their scale and it was the same! I was estatic!

On another note, I finally made it to zumba this morning! Yeah! Sometimes I forget that a good cardio class can be a great stress reliever!
