keep on keepin on...

So i weighed myself this morning and I have lost 10 1/2 pounds in 10 days. I couldnt be happier about the speed at which im losing weight. It really is a blessing from the Lord because up to this point it hasnt been too difficult. This process is actually helping me build some much needed discipline are well.

I started my journey weighing 269.5 and I weighed in this morning at 259. To be honest i dont really feel any different and i dont think i look like i've lost 10lbs, but hopefully i will keep losing. I said to myself that i would be happy if i lost 20lbs by the end of the summer, but here we are at only the end of may and I've already lost 10. So why stop at 20, right? right. The way im eating isnt too much different than before, just a little more controlled. I think i could live like this from now on and be happy, especially if i keep losing weight.

so a week and a half after i started im 259. I realize my pace will slow after about 2 weeks, and I might be a little discouraged, but keep praying for me and encouraging me. The good thing is im in florida for the summer and we've got the hottest part of summer ahead of us....so hopefully i can sweat off an extra few pounds. haha. If I am under 24o by the time i go back to school i will be very proud of myself!!! and truely very happy. My end goal is about 225-230. I DONT want to be skinny, thats a fact (no offense Bill). But at 230 I think i would be in good shape. I understand 40lbs is alot, and i dont expect to hit this goal very quickly, but I will eventually. I promise you this!

thanking God for His graces,

Jordan
