Day 98

Good morning everyone!  Today is another beautiful day...I just hope my allergies will calm down so I can fully enjoy it.  I am so happy to say that since I started this blog I have lost 14 lbs and I have lost a total of 23 lbs since I started trying to get back into shape at the end of 2011.  I will be unable to reach my goal of 135 lbs by this weekend..which stinks because I don't get to go shopping (my hubby and I made a deal and I didn't hit the mark).  But I am glad that I am losing regardless.  The new goal is to be 135 lbs by May 31st...it is so difficult because I have put on so much muscle and the smaller I get the harder it is to drop weight.  Starting the competition diet after this weekend should have a major impact on my weight loss so I feel confident that I will be able to meet my goals.  I think I am going to have to say a final farewell to peanut butter and coffee creamer after this week : (  Oh well, small sacrifices for a hot body (well, I hope it will be hot anyway).  Have a great day everyone!
