From one birthday to another-almost there!

I will turn 30 three weeks from today. While that thought freaks me out just a bit, I know it is coming whether or not I'm ready for the new decade.

One thing that will make me feel and look better (and maybe younger too!) is definitely losing weight, and I want to lose a lot of it!

On July 4 (see photo), I weighed 178.2 pounds, and now, my weight is down to 165.2 pounds. Since the beginning, I've dropped 13 pounds (7.3 percent of my total weight).

I'll have a huge number this week because I didn't exercise much last week. If I add in a bunch of exercise (even if it is just walking for 60 minutes each day) to my plan of eating right, I should see awesome results!!!
