Do you know what this means? Simply stated: I AM AWESOME!

20 pounds. In one month. No drugs, just eating healthy. For real.

OK, it was a month and 2 days. Who's counting?

I wasn't expecting much at the weigh in. I stayed within my points, but I didn't feel like I had eaten particularly healthy. I was expecting to break even, and was just praying that I didn't gain.

But then I donated blood last night, and walked out feeling lighter. Did I donate 5 pounds worth of blood? Probably not. But I allowed myself to hope--just a little.

I cried like little girl at weigh in today. I just can't believe that I lost 20 pounds. 20 POUNDS! It really boggles my mind.

I don't mean to gloat, I know there are people who are struggling. And I gave myself a treat of a cinnamon roll for dessert tonight, so I probably gained those 2 pounds back. But that's ok. I deserve a treat!
