My road to less of me...

So. I'm going to try blogging. Again.

I've never really been good at keeping up a blog, but I think I need just that little bit more of a push with my weight loss journey.

I've been actively working on losing weight (this time) since the beginning of June. Since then, I've lost just over 30 pounds! (Yay!) I've done this by using SparkPeople and tracking everything I put in my mouth. It's amazing how much easier it is to say 'no' to that cake or those doughnuts in the office kitchen when you're making yourself accountable. And, for the most part, no doughnut is going to taste good enough to offset your weight loss.

Beginning yesterday, I started "Eating Clean". It's really not much of a change to how I've been eating... but I'll apparently be saying 'buh-bye' to my Papa Murphy's pizza. I'm mostly okay with that... it's not like I can't have pizza anymore; I'll just have to make it myself with whole wheat crusts, ect. Not too big of a deal. :-)

My goal for this blog is to write SOMETHING in it every day. Even if it's just a sentence or two. We'll see how that goes.

My current weight loss goal is to get to 250 pounds by Halloween. I joined a Challenge on SparkPeople a few weeks back to lose 10% of your weight by October 31. My 10% will take me to 250.

I started my weight loss journey in June at @295#. My next weigh-in is tomorrow, but as of my weigh-in last Thursday I was at 265.4#

Okay... I've got to finish getting ready for work...

Anyway, welcome to anyone who decides they want to follow my journey! Thanks for being here, I appreciate all the support I can get!
