The Biggest Winner

Tonight was the finale of sorts of my weight loss challenge! I am the Biggest Winner, okay maybe in my own mind only, but that's good enough for me. My team didn't win either, but it was a great learning experience!

I officially lost 20lbs & altogether I lost 14 inches. This makes me happy! It's a great start for me & I am going to keep at...keep fighting the battle...I know I will get there.

I learned that really if I just get my butt moving I can accomplish quite a bit. I didn't always eat exactly what I should but I made some positive changes. Number one, I stopped drinking pop. I've had a few sips here and there; its amazing how incredibly sweet it is when you haven't had it for awhile.

I have also come to the conclusion that I like being active. Even though life is busy, if I really want it I can fit it in.

Another thing I've learned and maybe one of the most important is that I have many people around me that want me to succeed. So many friends and family have encouraged me with kind words. It's definitely a blessing to feel encouraged by others, especially on days when things aren't going as well as I'd like.

I'm thankful for a great beginning & so thankful I'm not alone on my journey!!
