The good part of my day. 153.4

I haven't stepped on the scale in about two weeks. I had been working consistently but I got sick and then there was the birthday eating and drinking so I pretty much did not want to face the scale. I got back into the swing of working out and decided to step back on the scale this morning. It read 153.4. This is a huge deal for me. I've been stuck around 156 for a while and suddenly when I take a step back I drop 3 pounds.

I'm sure my stomach problems have contributed a little bit. I've been trying to eat smaller meals to avoid acid reflux and my appetite has not been its normal ravenous self but I think the consistent exercise since the end of November is a factor as well.

When I started I was about 160 and its been very slow going. It's tough to stay motivated when results are not quick but knowing that GERD can be greatly helped by weight loss has really kept me going. My pants fitting a little loser (finally!!) also gives a little boost.

The ultimate goal is between 135-140. I need to focus on cleaning up my diet more so I can reach my goal of 149 by the time I go to St. Thomas at the end of April.

But today I'm celebrating 153.4!

The good part of my day. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

Today I finished the last book in the Shatter Me trilogy. I like my YA novels drama filled with romance and one liners that make me laugh. This series delivered. I can also safely say that this was one love triangle that completely threw me for a loop. I was surprised at how my feelings changed towards the characters over the course of the series.

I seriously love the cover art for this book too.

The good part of my day. Finger knitting and Veronica Mars watching.

Since I've been feeling a little down lately I've decided to post something good about my day. Hopefully it will help my mood to think about the good in my day.

Today I learned how to finger knit. It was pretty easy and I made a cute little infinity scarf in about 45 minutes while watching Veronica Mars.

I can't wait to get some thicker yarn and see how that turns out.
