I have been on a mission since my last post here where I moved on after a binge.  The best thing I ever did- quickly walking away from it and preventing further damage!  I am now down another pound this week and working toward more!  I am within 3 pounds to my posted goal of 135 and once I reach it I will be setting a lower goal of 130.  It is great right now for me since last Tuesday I have been eating right and seeing food as nutrients and fuel - the right way.  Don’t get me wrong those nutrients and fuel still taste good though!! I am really motivated right now perhaps it is because I am so close to my goal or perhaps I just have built up a liking for the new habits I have been forming over the past few months, whatever the case I am on cloud 9!!

It is astounding to feel the sense of control that starts to come as you advance in your progress. I went to a breakfast buffet for Father’s Day and did not get tempted one bit to eat any deserts or other “goodies” like homefries or potato salad that I would not have been able to resist just a couple of months ago. I just desired healthy foods. It was nice to make a few trips up to the buffet tables and pick different healthy options.  Of course it depends on what buffet you go to - this one was great!

I have really started focusing on my abs and it is great as the flab decreases you can see all the work that is being done.  I have been doing lots of reps and working all the different muscle groups it feels great!  I am also loving all the cardio I do and have been reaching new heights lately! It is so nice to stick to a plan and suceed and feel good doing it!  I am so happy I stuck it out and made it this far!  I wish everyone continued success in their personal endevours and my advice is stick with it through good days and bad days - ups and downs it will be worth it.
