half-way there

i've past the halfway mark. 34 lbs lost, 29 to go. it's scary because it's actually happening. each week, i see some measure of success. i know that in a few more weeks, i'll be 20 away then a few more weeks after that i'll be 10 away. if all goes according to plan, i'll hit my goal weight the week of my birthday. but if it doesn't go according to plan, that's okay too. the important thing is to keep at it, and not let frustration cloud the progress that has been made. i feel so much better, and i can't believe that me, a confirmed not morning person, gets up everyday at 4:30 to get to the gym by 5. i love the feeling of beating the machine, of setting a goal and trying to meet it. it is so much better then the temporary satisfaction of eating a bunch of really bad things. because two hours later i feel great, and not disgustipated. and i know if i have a really bad day or two, all i have to do is work out a little harder the next couple days, and the damage will be fixed.
