At this rate…

…I’ll have lost 115 pounds by my goal date of April 30.

I’m down 8.6 pounds since I started. CRAZY!

But, if the weight loss gods are listening, I’m absolutely not complaining (although the phrase “terminal illness” has crept through my mind once or twice).

I’ve been watching my calories pretty closely and keeping them between 1,300 and 1,500 daily. I’ve been exercising (pretty much) daily, even if it’s just a short work-out. And shoveling has helped; I got in 30 minutes of that at 5:30 this morning and sort of realized that if I can get up early to do that, I can get up early to do a pilates work-out…

The Baron is back on the road and the diet/exercise is always easier when he’s gone but I have two dinners and a lunch this week, so I’m going to have to be very careful about my choices. I don’t want to plateau or gain this early on.

I’m feeling super motivated now and I can’t wait to report the next 8.6 pounds lost.

Live, love, lose.
