Yippy - another 5lbs for a total of -146.5!!

 I try to celebrate every 5lbs because it keeps me motivated... at this time in my journey I try to do everything I can to get excited about the journey... I set little goals for myself constantly so I keep my motivation going.

This month my goal was to lose the weight I regained (I was initially about 155 and I gained 20lbs). As of today, I am at 158 and feeling great!! I have lost 17lbs of the 20 I regained and am still moving strong.

Another goal I had was to play hockey again (for the first time in 11 years) and with a lot of self-motivation and pushing, I got myself on a women's team. There were a few moments where I almost convinced myself otherwise, but now I am so happy I did it!! 

Here are some before/after photos and a photo of me playing hockey. :-)
