Keep up the hard work !!!

It feels good to be so motivated again. I just want to laugh with happiness
all the time now.
thanks. I'm glad to be back. They are beautiful. There's a thread in the "off topic" section that's about horses and horse lovers. I'd suggest checking it out! And thanks, it's been a long journey to get this far, and i'm glad to be going on to the last half.
Oh, and I just got back from walking 2.3 miles again. This time along a river. It was nice out, not too hot, not too cold, and no misquitos yet, thank god.

Breakfast: Blueberry morning cereal with vanilla soy milk.
I think that I'm going to go on a walk at lunch period today. It's just too pretty out not to, and it's supposed to cloud up in the next couple of days. All this walking has put me in a good mood, and it feels really nice, except I need new walking shoes now, because the ones I have now don't have enough support for the amount of walking i'm doing. Ah, I love excuses for shoe shopping!

You are crackin me up eating a fourth of a pop tart! That takes skill & will power & I am impressed!
So how is the WOMAN challenge going for you? Reaching your goals ok? I'm kinda struggling but I don't want to let everyone down so I'm going for it anyway. Good luck with everything. Volleyball sounds like you are going to be burning off that bit of pop tart for sure.
.....& yes now I am thinking about pop tarts......ug. glad I don't have any in the house.

Lukewarm I love those moments.. I like to wave at them as they pass by. Just to add to the list of things, it goes like this. Volleyball, choir, school, horses, playing chauffer, voice lessons, piano lessons, church, church choir practice, sing at different church. And this happens all in the course of a week. Its rather hectic, but eh, I like being busy, but I do love taking a week off and doing nothing but laze around the house watching disney movies.
MoonGoddess I'm liking this women challenge. Especially since it has the requirement that in order for your team to get credit, everyone has to log activity...everyday. It's making me get my butt in gear, because I don't want to be the one to let everyone down!
Ok, so lunch wasn't a turkey sandwich, Subway was too crowded, so we went to Taco Time, and I got a crispy chicken burrito, and a water. That's all
Then I had about 1/2 of an ice cream which came to a total of about 80 cals.
Chicken noodle soup is on the menu for dinner though. I can't wait.

It sure looks like it's going to be! The sun is out, and it's going to be rather warm today. Plus, I've been in a good mood since I woke up this morning. And it feels nice after a slight dip in the cheerfulness scale yesterday.
I've also come to a realization. I'm no longer afraid to tell people how much I weigh. It doesn't bother me to let people know that I weigh 189 lbs. And do you know why? I'm completely comfortable discussing my weight loss, and am proud of the fact that I have lost 36 lbs. I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin now than I did a year ago, and the feeling is wonderful. I don't hide behind big baggy clothes nearly as much, I've been wearing my hair down, (which I almost NEVER did a year ago) and my mood in general has been of a much happier nature.
I just want to say thank you to everyone on this site. All the support is wonderful, and a definate factor in my being able to keep on track (for the most part) and to lose the weight and keep it off. Thank you all so much!

I admire you!
The fact that you have lost that weight of course, but also being able to openly say how much you weigh. I would love to be comfortable like that. Truthfully I was even unease having it as public info on this site where my name isn't even listed...forget anyone knowing it outside of here. I'm just not there yet. Good for you for accepting yourself. I know you can lose as much as you want to & am so glad to see someone celebrating their accomplishments.

Lukewarm Thanks! It's such a great feeling, I can barely describe it!
MoonGoddess It was a big step when I realized that I could actually tell people. The first time, it took me a while to even realize that I had told the person their weight.
I just got back from my walk... 4.85 miles! woohoo! I wanted to go on another one with my dad, but he has to go with my brother to pick up his bike and his backpack from my voice teacher's house where he forgot them. brothers..
I also had this Department Scholar Ceremony, and there were lots of cookies and bars. I had 1 cookie, and a very small lemon bar. It was yummy, and satisfying. I'm proud of myself seeing as there were TONS of delicious food to be found.

Ok, this morning was a little bit bad. I had about 2 bowls of cereal for breakfast. Not the smartest thing to do... But, for lunch, I'll eat small and healthy, so it will all balance out as long as I don't go over too much on the calories.
I don't know if I'll be able to get a walk in today, but there is volleyball tonight. I also need to start working on toning up my stomach, legs, and arms. I'd like to see the inches start coming off as soon as they can, but I do have patience. I would just like to be around 165 by August 20th. That's about 2 lbs a week, so I think that that I can do it, and be a new person before school next year. I really would like to surprise my coach, by not having to get XL spandex. AND I'd like to be number 9 in volleyball uniforms. (the lower the number, the smaller the size.) I was 14 last year, and I'd like to be in single digits this year.

you'll get there that's a reasonable goal to be in single digits

you'll get there
I think so too. I don't think that i'll ever be lower than the 8, because my chest is so large, and my shoulders are naturally wide, but being in single digits will be super satisfying.
