Another month passes by and all is good.
August was a tough month for me. I gained 4 pounds in 3 weeks. Between catching a chest cold, Kelly's Sweet 16, Florida and the kids starting school again, I gained 4 pounds in about 3 weeks. I was still trying to exercise but with so much delicious food around me, it was not good. I was also finding it difficult to breath properly during my runs with my cold. BUT - I'm back in the swing of things. This Sundays weigh in showed a 3.4 lb loss. I'm very happy about that. I spend all last week focusing on my food intake and went for my run 4 times. I know I am in total control on my weight and it is not in control of me. I felt really good at Paty's baby shower because many people acknowledged my change in appearance. It feels amazing when people say, "You look like a different person!" I tell them that I am different. I am completely different. :)
I'm looking forward to the holidays like never before. If i can keep up my routine and lose 1 - 2 pounds a week I should be fitting into a size 12 by Christmas. A SIZE 12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But don't worry, I will in no way be disappointed if I'm not there by Christmas, I just like having something to shoot for.
Slow and Steady, slow and steady .

I think you look amazing Kat. One thing you have to remember is that this is a lifetime commitment and that there will be times when you will gain some weight back but as long as you know why that is happening and are able to control it instead of it controlling you, you are one step ahead. I'm really proud of you my sister!!!!
