17 LBS

Ring the bells, sound the alarm, rejoice the praises. I have lost 17 pounds.

I am excited and happy. BUT I thought it would have been more. I am trying to lose 20 pounds total, more if I can manage it, though I don't think I should 'manage it'.

It's been 7 months and all I lost was 17 pounds. It has a nice ring to it... 17 in 7. But I wanted it to be more, so I could just start focusing on maintaining instead of trying to sweat off those extra 3 pounds.

By September, I better be 125 lbs, come hell or high water.

BUT I am glad. Yay me!!!
