5 down - 5 more to go!!

I have lost 5 pounds since the new year which is such an accomplishment for me because I usually have to be big-time motivated like a vacation with bathing suits involved to do it. I totally pigged out at Christmas and then getting back home, I had one pair of jeans that still fit. Most of my weight has come off since I gave up all sweets after Valentine's Day. That's right. No chocolate, cookies, cakes, candy, and ice cream. This has been very hard for me because I have a major sweet tooth but I was determined mainly because my husband didn't think I could do it. I also try to go to the gym at least 4 times a week which has helped my weight loss as well. I can have sweets again at Easter and I'm already planning on making sugar cookies (my favorite) to celebrate. I hope that after Easter I can go back to limiting my sweets and keep the weight off. If I can lose a couple more pounds then great. If I can lose 5 more pounds that would be awesome. It is just nice to be able to fit into all the jeans in my closet - even those that I haven't worn in a year!!
