162 lbs.

down 35 lbs. from start

22 lbs. to my goal

So I am losing! Over the weekend, the scale actually read 160.7 lbs!! But I'm waiting to log that. I ate really well all weekend until Sunday. I didn't do absolutely terrible, but I didn't do good so I think I'll have to make up for it today. But I am confident that I may actually reach the 150s by our trip! I just hope that I can maintain it while on vacation!

On another note, I got the job!! I will be a Direct Support Professional in the Day Program at St. Louis ARC. I'm super excited! It's going to be a totally new experience for me. I put in my two weeks at my job today. I cried. I knew I would. I have been here for 5 years. It's going to be so scary leaving. I can only hope that I am making the right decision. My manager hugged me and told me how proud she was of me. It made me feel better. I don't know when my exact starting date is yet. I will find out today I believe.

Phil and I at Graffiti Run

 

Our walks this weekend were awesome! I don't have much to say about them. Watching 100+ men attempt to talk in heels was absolutely hilarious! But it was so moving. It was really a beautiful thing and I'm so glad that Phil is so willing to participate in such events. It makes me love him 100 times more! The Graffiti Run turned out great as well. We were with lots of friends and family and the weather was amazing!

 

Life is good right now. :)

Vacation in 8 days!!

See ya!
