Ticker!

So, I've added a ticker to track my weight loss and my BMI as I get healthier and thinner! I'm excited about it---a great visual reminder of progress.

I have to skip weigh-in again this week, boo:( The reason is really good though---we're going to Duluth for May long to visit friends, and we're all really excited! I'm really looking forward to it:)! I'm staying on track though...it's been a great week, no eating after 7pm, and staying on track with food. I went for a run yesterday, and it was awesome! I'm sore today, which makes it even better!

I really hope that I can be more consistent with this blog, I want to be able to look back on this journey and really see how it all came together:) Blogging is not something I'm great at or do often---there are so many other things I choose to do with my spare time (not any better or more productive...just different:). So, I want to do this more....

Visualizing---I'm totally one of those people who sometimes thinks about my life in terms of Facebook statuses, and so I was visualizing my FB status at the end of this year (I did it while I was running--kept me motivated:)!

'Lauren Whitburn Wagenaar has lost...are you ready for this...92.4 pounds this year!!! Yay ME!:)'

That's the plan, that's the goal, and I'm going to do it! My next short-term goal is to lose about 10 lbs by July 1st. Have a great long weekend everyone!

Oh, and I chose basketballs as the background for a specific reason (more than just that it's my fave sport and I used to play in high school and college:) I'll tell you more later (and I actually will this time, I promise:)!
