one pound closer....

i'm at 144.5 and counting. I'm trying so hard, what's the deal? I now the more you are to your ideal weight, the more your body wants to hold on to the extra fat, but let it go already-I don't want it!... Now i need a tan!

I also wanted to share this bit of info....The Unhealthiest Drink in America Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz) 2,310 calories 266 g sugar 108 g fat (64 g saturated)

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

5.5 lbs to go!

Today I'm at 145.5! I resisted a huge peice of chocolate cake this afternoon at a mother's day party. Not Easy. But worth it, I hope!

update since Monday

I just wanted to update-- I'm at 146 lbs as of this morning, and since my last post I have been on the tredmill (in the garage) every other day and eating really well. Hooray for weight loss! 6 more to go and I'm there!!!
