(Excerpt from my November 10th, 2014 Facebook post)

Thank you all sooo sooo much for taking the time to acknowledge your Facebook notification and wish me a happy birthday!! Happy 239th Birthday to the Marines too!

Today also means it’s 4 months since I said I would lose the 40 pounds I had gained back during my journey by my birthday. My plan was to exceed that, but unfortunately I missed it by 1 pound. I’m bummed that I didn’t meet my goal and I’m excited because I freakin’ lost 39 pounds in 4 months… bringing my total back to 134 pounds lost!!!!!!!!

My next goal (try to follow!) is to weigh 228 by December 6th, Dustin’s company holiday party. 229 was the lowest I got to on my journey and the last time Dustin’s company had their holiday party I was at my heaviest… so I want to be at my lowest by then. I have 8 pounds to lose and 26 days in which to lose it! I know what it is I need to work on and I’m gonna keep going!!

Now, it’s time to finish out my birthday with my amazing hubby. Thank you all again for all of your awesome wishes… I am so excited for this year!! Xoxo
