The Half-Way Point - Minus 40

Wow this is hard work!!!! But honestly looking back well worth all the effort. My next battle will be to take this to the end and lose 40 more lbs. That I know will be so much harder! But you know, I have established habits now and no matter how long this takes me, it will be all worth it.

Just this morning I was trying to think about what I used to eat for breakfast before I started this journey and I have to say I had a hard time remembering...and that I think speaks volumes!

It is also apparant that I will not meet my goal come January 1, 2010 and that being of an 80lbs weight loss. To be perfectly honest, that does bum me out a bit, but maybe my goal was unrealistic? and to be honest again, does it really matter? What does matter is that I did start this journey, I have been faithful to it and I have lost half the weight that I want to lose so far. It may not be a win-win but it still is a win!!!

I realize too that this next 4o will be the most difficult! so your continued prayers and encouragement will be most needed! Thank you to all of your kind words...I've got a group of great friends....I AM RICH!!!
