Hello to one and all

It's been a little over 2 weeks since I've blogged. I haven't had much progress lately. The last 2 weeks have been a complete plateau for me and not moving from the 222-220 pound range. It's been frustrating, but it's happened and it will happen. :) I have hit 3 plateau's now doing Paleo. The first plateau was at 20 pounds. I was in Denver when it finally broke. It was a breaking point and I almost quit trying at that point. The second one was at 55 pounds, in November. It was when I got married, it was Thanksgiving and a whole bunch of other good 'treats' in that time frame. I was stuck for about 3 weeks at that point. But at that time, I wasn't frustrated with everything going on. And I knew that too would pass and I would start losing weight again. This last time was over the last 2 1/2 weeks. It's been frustrating this time around, because I am so close to my goal.

This morning I stepped on the scale and expected to see either 221 point something or 220 point something. But instead I got a great surprise. I saw the teems!! I saw 219!!! Wow! That's 80 pounds!! That also hopefully means that my plateau is over and done with and I can get back on track! I still have 45 pounds left to go and I am expecting to hit another plateau before I hit my goal.
This picture was taken on Valentine's Day. I'm actually wearing a dress (with leggings of course) in a size L!!!! Size L...... never in my life do I remember that! Now, that I'm back on track, I feel great. Next big goal is getting under that 200 mark! I know it's achievable, I'm come so far and I know I can keep going. I have HUGE ideas in mind of things I want to do and ideas I want to make into reality and I'm positive that they will come to life. I've been given more oppertunity these days then I have in my life ever before. I can't wait for new adventures to happen!

I'm having a Pampered Chef party today and I have been the one to plan out the menu. I'm so excited to 1, try these out and 2, show the people that are coming, how easy and great tasting Paleo food is! It's going to be exciting! I need to take pictures too!! :)

Till next time...
