Leah Speaking!

Wow! today was awesome. My pants were too loose on me (the ones that last month I could barley button up) AND when I went to to work tonight I had like 3 people ask me if i'd lost any weight. 1st Bonny asked "have you been losing weight?" and then Shannon said "whats up with you Ehtiopia...you look tiny like your arms and your face and thats all i can see" and then Ren said "Have you lost alot of weight?" all at seperate times! It was awesome. I told Shannon we should start going to the Rec together because she said she's been working out lately too (but she does the classes which aparently cost more so it may not be right away. The compliments only make me want to go to the gym and work even harder. I don't want that question to ever stop coming my way. I LOVE THE COMPLIMENTS haha so I'll keep working out for that reason alone. I got my swim suit today! :-) it's adorable...I need a 2nd opinion though from yall about the top....I think it might be too small but yall will have to tell me what you think. The bottoms are perfect and simply adorable. I CAN'T WAIT FOR PADRE! I'm going to feel so confident and so relaxed the whole trip and I'll be in a new cute swim suit and tan annnnnnd ahhhhh less than a month.
Whitney I didn't mean to go crazy on you...I think it's great that you only had a few bites of the food and it's awesome that yall shared a plate, but honestly when is it EVER okay to eat a big juicy spaghetti wearhouse brownie? I know they say to treat yourself for doing good, but you already had cake twice and 3 egg rolls for celebration the weekend before. I'm not trying to rain on your parade cause you're doing awesome but I guess I just couldn't afford to eat a brownie at all with this whole trying to tone up thing so I don't want YOU having any brownie either (no fair) haha. I've lost 11 pounds since we started this journey! I was at 132 and I'm now down to 121! (sometimes it even says 120) BTW Jenna weights 111 so I'm only 10 pounds heavier than Jenna! (i'm not ever going to try to weigh 111...that would be unhealthy for my height) I'm at the perfect weight for my height range and I'm so happy. It's true what they say though that eventually after 30 something days it becomes a habit. Keeping up with the right diet is so easy for me. I've even found a way on my school days to eat the right foods while i'm on campus. Whitney, you asked if Raisin Bran is good...well I'd say it wouldn't be bad if that was your only choice but it does have a higher sodium count and carb count than say Special K cerial or Cherios even, but still it's healthy and it doesn't have that many calories so it wouldn't hurt at all. When I buy my food I just read for 1. Calories per serving 2. how many are from fat 3. sodium level and 4. Carb count and for whatever it is i'm buy I try to find the item that has the lowest number of all 4 things. It's hard to do sometimes so in those cases I'll just go for the one with the lowest calories and sodium. (again this is just what i've been doing)
Mom haven't heard from you on the blog in a while...?
Looking forward to Sunday so we can all go for a lovely bike ride/Jog! :-)
