Good afternoon all you buddyslimmers out there :) Do you have sunshine where you are today?  We finally do after 3 days of rain, dark clouds, cold weather and plain YUCK, we have a beautiful sunny day here.  Can’t help but smile when its sunny :)

Started out a normal day here, got up…got on the scale         scales.jpg scales image by vibraceousand I was so excited I couldn’t stay still.  I even went to tell my doggies Chloe and Toby the good news (I swear dogs understand)  I have finally lost 20 pounds….YES 20 POUNDS!!!!  I still have 45 to go, but I’m happy because I finally stuck to my plan and stayed with exercising and it is finally paying off :)

I have a drawer or 2 stuffed with favorite clothes of the past and future :)  I bet you all have that same drawer……I’ve designated part of my closet for the same thing.

I looked around and found one of my most favorite pair of jeans.  Haven’t fit in them forever :( 

Sadly and embarrasing to say I’ve been in a 20/22 jeans.  My favorite pair was an 18   YES AN 18!!!!  and I can fit into them!!!!  sure there a little snug, but I know they will be comfortable in a few days. I am so proud.  I feel so much more confidant now and the motivation is even stronger.

So Please buddys I know how hard this journey is, I’ve been on BuddySlim for 2 years and I just recently had that “AHA “moment.  I want to be healthy and live a long life….at the rate I was going, it wouldn’t be such a long life.  I love healthy foods, right now my favorite thing is finding new healthy recipes. :)

I know you all can do it.  It has to come from within first.  Make it your hobby…..make your new healthy journey fun and competitive.  For me I decided to make it my “Full Time Job”  and its working :)

This is a big week for my husband and I.  We celebrate anniversary/birthdays.  We went out and bought a new bike for each of us!!! Were ready to go!!!

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me.  For all the love and support I’ve gotten from this awesome site.  Couldn’t have done it without you.

Faith changes hope into reality.

    JANE!!!! Congrats on the weight loss! You’re getting closer & closer. I wish it was sunny here, but it’s raining and will be all day.
