35

I weigh 35 pounds less than I used to!  These last 5 pounds took me nearly 5 months to lose, but that's alright.  Despite the snail-like pace the weight seems to be coming off, the fact is, it's coming off.  I've learned to really appreciate and celebrate the non-scale victories.  I'm noticing muscles that I never had.  I'm fitting into clothes that I haven't worn in years.  The weight on my barbells is going up and so are the number of push-ups that I'm able to do.  Slow as it is, the process is working.  And, I know that I'm doing it the right way, so I'm confident that the weight will stay off.  Next stop... 40 pounds!
