I had a really good week with my weight loss! I just have to share, because I'm a little too excited. This week, I lost 3.4 pounds, which puts me at 16.8 lost total in six weeks. I'm feeling really good, and anxious to hit 20. I know it will probably take me two more weeks to get there, but for some reason 20 is a big milestone in my head.
I've changed a lot in six weeks. My habits are obviously the biggest change, but I've switched and fixed some unhealthy mindsets, had the Lord help me break off some strongholds that have been hanging over me for YEARS, and I'm still learning and growing. Though not wider. I'll never do that again (except when I have babies. I suspect that is inevitable.)
Maybe someday I will get brave and tell you what my starting weight was. Realistically, I'll probably only have the guts to do that once I've hit my goal, but believe me, that day will come!
I just had to share what I've accomplished in this short time because I am so stoked. Now I'm off to browse Ravelry for some lacy projects to work on. =)

I now dub this smattering of weight-loss related posts....
my Weight-Loss Corner!
Talking with a couple of my friends, I realized, what's the problem with blogging about trying to lose weight on here, even if I did intend it to be a knitting blog? (holy run-on sentence Batman!) This is currently a BIG part of my life and life-style, and if it helps encourage even one person, then I think it will be worth it. Don't worry, there will still be knitting and crafty posts on here as well. This won't turn one-sided. At least I don't think that it will. =)
Just a little update, and to take a pat-myself-on-the-back moment, I'd like to share that I have lost 8.6 pounds in two weeks! I'm super stoked, and feeling excited to keep this momentum going! In the spirit of sharing all about this weight loss journey of mine, I'd like to share a recipe with you all that I just tried tonight for some chocolate-y cookies that are super low in points-plus values, so if you are trying to lose weight, you don't have to feel guilty about whipping up a batch of these. Unless you eat them all in one sitting. *wink*
This recipe is off the weight watchers site, and it is SO good. The recipe says you should be able to get 40 mini cookies out of it, I did 20 slightly larger cookies and it seemed perfect. Here's the link!
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
And now it's time for me to go to bed. It's not even 11pm but I am wiped. I'm turning into such an old lady.
Enjoy!
