Today, I hit my goal! 25lbs down and counting.

I don't even know if I can describe what I am feeling right at this moment! Pride? Oh hell yeah that is in there! Satisfaction? You betcha! Delight? Joy? Yup those too! It just feels so great to set out with a goal and accomplish it! Yes, I still have a long way to go on losing weight and yes, there will be setbacks here and there. Hitting this goal though proves to me that I have the determination not to give up and the drive to keep going! Now, I will be honest and say that being in the hospital for 4 days and being on antibiotics for another 5 most likely contributed to me hitting my goal today, but I was only out 1.5 lbs before my appendix decided to move out anyway. The thing is I have to ride this wave of giddiness and keep plugging forward. If I lost 25lbs by May 25th, a full month ahead of schedule, can I do 50 before Christmas? That remains to be seen but I'm sure as hell going to try.
