I went to bed thinking there wouldn’t be much of a loss. The last thing I thought about before drifting into la-la land was how I felt when I crossed over the finish line last Saturday and knew I had beat my last time by 40 seconds. I think my body got excited by the thoughts of running and went to the dream gym and gave me one last workout before this morning’s weigh in:

My goals have always come in increments of five pounds. I have achieved almost 12 goals since the beginning of this LCJ. Up to this point my goals have always had the number “2” in front of them. Today I get to say for the first time that my next goal weight has a “1” in front of it. That’s right baby 199!!!!
People have asked me what my “reward” will be for hitting Onederland. Being called overweight and knowing I’m adding years to my life instead of taking them away with destructive behavior is the reward. Oh and maybe a trip to Vegas!
The dream gym. Wish I could find one here.
A great weigh-in! Keep it up!
I’ve been saving you a seat next to me in one-der-land. See you next weekend..in Vegas 😉
You are doing fantastic! And you inspire me. So keep up the great work! 🙂
Yahoo! That’s awesome!
That is fantastic! You’re doing great, keep it up! Stay positive!
Congratulations on another week of kick-ass progress!
Hey, when you get the time check out this girls blog emilyFIT.com She’s a newbie and since you were the first to help me out in my blog I figured she would like to meet Tara aka KICK ASS MAMA 😉
Hey Tara!
Great job on weigh in, and di d I see touch down Jesus…DID i ever.
But we called him ‘Big butter Jesus”..
I took a picture and then, 12 hours to the minute later, he burned down.
lololol.
apparently they are going to ‘rebuild’ him.
But really, how can you replace a masterpiece.
lol.
Doing GREAT girl! Doing GREAT! I’m sending good vibes your way so your next workouts will burn, burn, burn you down to onderland! 🙂
I’m right with you in Vegas…of course I have a good 40 more to lose before I get there!
That is so awesome! You are so close to being under 200 forever! 🙂
HOORAY! Keep it up T-bear. Super proud of you.
And I’m glad you have a big picture but you get to the big picture by taking small, steady steps (increments of 5 pounds is TOTALLY achievable and less daunting than 5 million pounds).
Consistency is key, and you’ve already discovered that.
Keep your eye on the prize! The prize being health 🙂
You are doing awesome! Great job!! you are soooooooo close. I know you can do it!
I love the idea of a dream gym. LOL. Another wonderful result. You truly are an inspiration and you show how a lot of hard work and consistency prove to be a winning formula.
Awesome work Tara, you are rocking these weigh-ins! A think a little reward for yourself is definitely in order! A trip to Vegas is always fun – though you should wait until December for the 1/2 marathon, it’s starting to look very likely that I’ll be doing that one!
Woohoo! Can I get directions to that dream gym in the sky?? Congratulations on another AWESOME loss. Your consistency is incredibly impressive and I’m excited for you to arrive in Onederland. Make sure it’s all nice up in there for when I arrive, ‘kay?
Yay Tara!! Add an asterisk for the week you joined the gym. It was the 30 lbs down reward, right? VHF! (That’s virtual high five)
Good point!
