Weigh Day!
I lost a total of 6 pounds over the past two weeks! I was really surprised because I didn’t exercise much. I just lost a close family member last week and it sort of threw me off. But, I’m now 229lbs and less than 30 away from my first goal!
Happy dance time.

Boo tumblr...
You didn’t post what I had in my queue for this morning.
whatareyoureallyhungryfor-deact asked: Your progress even now is impressive! Congratulations on setting out on this journey- you have the kind of attitude that will see you through. I also love your personal philosophy page :)
eatmorebroccoli asked: do you have ferrets? I saw the paw print tattoo on your arm and I was just curious if it was a ferret track.
