Scale Victory

So the number on the scale has matched pretty much what I have seen with clothes.  It's crazy.  Our scale has been broken for the last week or so and I was unable to weigh myself.  So I did this morning and I broke the number I had wanted and lost 3 lbs in the last week.  So exciting.  I was hoping that I would be where I was, but knew that I might not be there since I only really want to lose about 2 lbs a week.  But I lost more and it was showing on the scale!  Seeing that number really made me feel good about the changes that I have made.  It reinforced to me that I could lose weight and be healthy and not feel like I am losing out.  I feel like my ultimate goal is actually achievable.  Right now my big goal is to lose another 10 lbs by August 10th (my 30th birthday).  That means I need to average about 3lbs a week between now and then.  Since that is basically what I've been doing I am thinking about adding in some more exercise to cut more calories per day.  I know I can do it.  I am very confident that I can lose those 10lbs and be down another size by then.  I know I am going to have to work for it and really push myself, but the best birthday present will be to wake up and be 30 (which scares me a bunch) and be 10lbs lower than I am today.

Hope everyone else is nice and happy and healthy on this beautiful Sunday!
