Week 12, 13 & 14

Well today marks exactly three months since I first got serious about losing weight and bought a gym membership.  I only know this because I had to extend my gym pass for another three months last night.  Originally I figured I would go to the gym for three months and by then the weather would be nice enough to excercise outside, which it pretty much is, but the 80 degrees we had here last Sunday reminded me how much I hate hot weather!  There is no way I would go outside for a jog in anything pass 75 degrees so looks like the air conditioned gym is the best solution.  Plus I love going!  Titus told me last night that I'm happier when I come back from the gym and we both agreed that it was because it's my "me" time.  Plus working out makes me feel productive and good about myself. 
Another personal victory I forgot to blog about last time is I'm down 2 whole pant sizes!  I can now wear everything I did before I was pregnant with Mikael.  Even though in the last three weeks I've only lost 3 pounds I feel like I've accomplished more then I expected to by this time.  My goal is to be down all 50 pounds by the end of August.  Why August?  My mom, two sisters and I have a tradition of going to a dinner theater where we get all dressed up.  I want to buy a new dress for that in the size I will be for hopfully a long long time.  I must admit my main motivation for losing the weight at least lately, has been shopping.  Many of the clothes I have now are either too big or I've had for over 6 years.  I can't wait to freshen up my closet!

Total weight loss: 33 pounds
