I actually hit 61 lbs last Thursday but didn't count it because the day before had been the hellish Red zone day and I'd abnormally lost 5 lbs. I left for Wyoming Thursday night and haven't had a chance to weigh myself until this morning. Needless to say, I'm thrilled that I have reached that goal - even after being on the road all weekend!
As promised, I bought myself flowers this morning as a reward for losing another 10 lbs. Here's a picture of the bouquet I bought:
I really wanted a vase full of white daisies, but Albertson's only had mixed flowers. They're pretty, pleasantly fragrant, and certainly liven up my office. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE getting flowers? Even when I get them for myself, I love it! They are cheery and Spring-y. Tucked away in my little office, without a window, I can fool myself into thinking it's Spring and not threatening to snow outside.Speaking of being on the road - a BIG thank you to everyone who suggested Go-gurts! I took a couple boxes with me - in a cooler - and they were perfect! I ate them for breakfasts, for snacks, and for desserts. I especially enjoy them frozen! Mmmm. My favorite was Strawberry Milkshake.
Speaking of rewards, I've decided what I'll do as a reward when I hit 75 lbs - I'm going blond! I can't remember how long it's been since I've been blond, a couple years at least. I'm planning on going back to my current hair color in the Fall because I really like it, but it'll be fun to have a change for a few months. Once I have it done, I'll post a picture, of course, so stay tuned!

Congratulations on losing 61 pounds! That is a great accomplishment. You definitely deserve the flowers. I can't wait to see you blond.
Wow! I'm so thrilled for you, Julie. I enjoyed your picture of flowers on this gray day so I can just imagine what a lift the real things are. I'm anxious to see blonde.
Good for you, that is really exciting news! We too love frozen go-gurts here at our house. I can't remember the last time you were blond, but then my memory fails me sometimes.
Yea! Congrats. :) And thanks for the heads up about the change in hair color. I'll be watching for it. (I'm just thinking about all those other times-even when we were roommates-that I had no idea when you changed your hair color! It's like it was just another part of your wardrobe.)
Awesome job! Pretty flowers! Hooray for blonde!
Well, I heard blondes have more fun, so I will be waiting for a report. 61 pounds is awesome.
