This week has been really great.
Truthfully. 

We started softball practices, had three days of tryouts, and I made it through my first time as a head coach and having to make cuts to my team. I successfully held my first softball parent meeting, and went to our Conference coaches' meeting today. 

Saturday, Joe's family was supposed to have a reunion but the weather turned bad so we just did a dinner inside, it was a fun time!
I walked chicken barns with Joe Saturday evening and Sunday morning. 

In other news, there's this cute kitten who I think has been a sweet addition to the house: 

Lil' Punkin! 

This was literally our Saturday night. Playing with Punkin. 

She was cold... and needed a blankie haha 

This really cool thing happened this past week: I got out my prom dresses. It was one of my "non-scale" goals to be able to put it on again! I was able to get it on- even though it was a little bit snug, it was on! (the left was this week and the right was Senior prom, May 2006) 

This weekend is tax-free weekend, so I bought a few articles of clothing.
I bought two pair of jeans (size 14's!) and two pair of shorts... and this shirt; which is a Large and is a little big. Whoop! 

This week was also really great because I have hit a big milestone.
When I started this journey, at my physical
(you have to have a physical to make sure that you are good to participate in the program)
... so at my physical I weighed 242.6 pounds (OMG!)
This past week at our Healthy U meeting, I weighed 190.8.
That is a total loss of 51.8 pounds.
(OMG!) 

I just have ~15lbs to lose before I reach my *end* goal.
And truthfully, I want to be at 175 by my birthday.
(Because my license card goes bad and I need to re-do it, and the "current weight" box says 175)

I am really excited that I have been able to accomplish my goals so far. 

Not only have I accomplished them, I've done it in a healthy, realistic way.
I have eaten cake... ice cream.... all that stuff.
But I have learned that treats are called treats for a reason: and they should happen every once in a while. 

Coming up: more softball this week and the fair starts! Yay!
