Make Goal, Get Reward

So I told you guys a little while ago that I had decided to get serious about losing weight, and I'm happy to report I made my first goal!  I was supposed to lose 15 pounds by today.  I did and got my reward of a new Camelback water bottle!  I know it's a kind of lame reward, but I've wanted one for a while. So far things have been going pretty well.  There are definitely some days that I don't really think about staying within my ranges, but it's mostly nights when we all get together and go out for pizza and ice cream or something like that.  I can also start to see little changes in my body.  I haven't lost a whole size yet, but my jeans are a little looser than they were.  I could see it most when I put on my pencil skirt the other day.  When I got it it was pretty tight, but now there's extra room in the waist and it doesn't cling to my butt and thighs like it did.  Its not much yet, but its a start and it feels pretty good to be seeing results and know that I actually made a goal that I set for myself.  I'm pumped to lose 15 more, get some new running shoes, and see more stones move into the 'lost' jar.  :)
