So I just realized that I had not posted anything about this and personally I think this is newsworthy. Due to my ongoing weight loss success. I have officially lowered my goal weight by 10 pounds to 145 to reflect my ultimate goal weight. [End of public service announcement]
When I started Nutrisystem, I thought maybe I'd lose 10-15 pounds if I was lucky. I've never had much success losing weight and keeping it off. However, there is so much knowledge I have gained along this journey that I know I was equipped with the tools to keep this going and to keep it off.
Never in a million years would I think that NS would get me to where I am today. But as I am within 10 pounds of my original goal weight, I know that I don't have to stop here. I know I have the power to keep pushing forward to really being the healthiest version of me.
Hakuna matata!

National Running Day 2012
If only I had the time to go running on National Running Day. Maybe I'll do a late night run after I get home... ok maybe not. Well, my mind will be running all day so that's got to count for something, right?
Sidenote, check out today's RW Daily for super awesome video from the Runner's World crew. Gotta love those guys.

Little moments like this
So this past weekend was this year's Brad Paisley concert here in Hartford. My BFF and I have been going for the past couple of years because we are big country music fans. I had her take a picture of me to compare it to last year's picture.
50 pounds difference right there. Not the best angle for the picture, but that's ok. I'll take it.
Now the only thing that would have made an amazing concert even better, was to have the seats we had last year. Oh well, that's ok. I still got Kimberly Perry's autograph on my ticket stub!

I know where I've been
Today is June 4th. It has been exactly 5 months since I received my first Nutrisystem box. Has is been that long already? Or should I say has it only been that long? It's hard to tell which is appropriate as I think about how much I have gained (and lost!) so far this year.
First of all, I don't think I would even have been able to make it this far without the support of so many new friends I have made through the discussion boards. I'm always amazed at how open and inspiring these people are. I have grown close with so many of them that I feel like I've known them forever. They accept me for who I am and push me to work harder.
For the first time in a long while, I finally feel like me again. I don't feel overly embarrassed just walking into a room and most of the time I even like the way I look. I can actually enjoy a shopping trip, and I just might be able to fall in love with the beach again.
All that and 40 pounds lighter, in just 5 months. When I ordered NS, never in a million years did I think that I would be where I am today. Back then, this was only a wish, a dream. It was never even possible with the old me.
Now there's something they don't tell you that comes in that monthly brown box. Each month, a piece of a new and better you gets put into place. That's the real transformation. I always say that this journey is just as much mental as it is physical, and I believe that 100%.
That being said, there is no way I'm letting this Hot Tamale train slow down! I'm going to keep pushing and reach for the stars. Because now I know that it is actually possible.

Still not at 100% but the antibiotics have definitely kicked in. A new Nutribear should make things all better!! I need to decide soon whether to lower my goal weight or not. Hmm....
