148

Ahhhh I could seriously scream and jump up and down like crazy right now!  I was hoping to jump on the scale this morning and see 149 and instead I saw 148.  I have continued to push myself hard every day this week and really feel like its paying off.  While 148 is not a number I want to stay at it is a number I have not seen in almost 3 years.  How fitting is it that a few days before my wedding anniversary I am at the number I was when I got married?  (I wish it wouldnt have taken me so long to get here) Seriously I could not be happier right now and it just gives me motivation to keep going!  Only three more lbs and I am at the goal I set for our trip to Vegas.  I hope to surpass that goal by then.  Ahhh...seriously I want to celebrate.  I guess I will because Ron and I are going out to eat tomorrow for our anniversary! 
This week has been really good for working out.  I have been trying to work out for more then an hour each day.  One day I did more then hour and 1/2 of cardio and mixed up the cardio by doing 30 minutes on the elliptical, 35 minutes of Zumba and 30 minutes of a high intensity cardio video.  Mixing things up has really helped me.  Yesterday I did 2 different strength training videos and I was so so so soar when I went to bed.  It felt really good.  I feel like I am working hard and it feels really good.  I decided since I worked out Monday-Thursday each day to take a break today and then work out again tomorrow morning! 

I am amazed at how much better I feel in most aspects of my life.  I sleep better, I have more energy and I just feel generally happier.  Its really really nice to see that my life is being affected and all my hard work is paying off. 

My motivation is NEVER EVER seeing 150's again (unless I am pregnant.)   I got up to the 180's when I was pregnant and I definitely never want to see those again, even if I am pregnant.
