I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!

20 pounds down! 80 to go! I feel amazing! I can not believe the difference 20 pounds will make. My clothes fit better. I sleep well at night and I think I can see my cheek bones again ;) I am feeling stronger every day. I have a long way to go but I am so encouraged by others as they tell me they notice the weight loss. I can't wait to go shopping for size 10, 8 and even 6 size jeans. I plan to lose another 20 pounds by Christmas. I am getting bored of salads though, so I know I need to come up with some healthy alternatives. My sister sent me a salad recipe that calls for spinach, egg, bacon and Italian dressing. I think that will be on the menu next week ;) Keep me in your prayers. I can not do this alone. Thank God for the strength to endure the pain of this race. As I chug along, I think I can, I think I can! A good pep talk is sound advice.
