First Mini Goal Reached

I woke up this past Saturday morning, and decided to get on the scale.  I quickly did some math and to my surprise, I lost my first 20 lbs.!!  Four long months into my weight loss journey, and I finally met my first mini weight loss goal.  It took mental & physical & emotional preparation, determination, perseverance, faith, and working my ass off.  There were some tears, self-doubt, and most of the time I had to just suck it up and get to it. 

I want to thank my cousin for helping me, even though she is on a weight loss journey herself, my sister/friend, for always noticing/complementing/cheering me on, my coworkers, for kind words, and support.  Most of all, I want to thank my amazing spouse, who gets dress and goes to the gym with me, no matter the time of day or how short of a notice I give.  I am grateful for your constant love and support.

Now to continue on my quest, to meet my next mini weight loss goal.  Hopefully, now that I have found what foods and exercises work best for me, it won't take as long :)
