2.5 pounds

I am literally 2.5 pounds away from being under 150 pounds. 
Eating is not as hard as it used to be.  Yes, I still want cookies, popcorn, cake or french fries at least one time every few weeks, but I think my perspective has changed.  I'm not thinking so much about how I am missing out on eating something good.  I am thinking how will this effect my goal next month? It seems like a simple shift, but for someone who loves food and flavor, it was a difficult adjustment. 
I've started to create little mini goals for myself each month.  I think this will help to change it up and keep my body losing fat and gaining muscle.  My goals for May (besides eating clean) is to work on my butt and once a week have a long distance run.  I know it is a little counter productive to work on cardio and building muscle, but I think on one of my off days from weights I can do my distance run.  We will see. 
I have been getting some inspiration about my butt from fitness model Brenna McKenna.  Check out her Glutes below!!

I have also been religiously keeping up with Kelsey Byers blog.  I haven't met her, talked to her or anything, but she seems like such a genuine person with such a positive outlook on life and fitness...and she's a Texas girl!  We don't have the same body type (she is long and lean, I am shorter and a little more muscular...under my fat I'm trying to get off) but she is so inspiring.  I love this shot:

I am going to participate in her 12 week challenge...I just have to buy a paper so I can take my before shots.  I think I will put my before shots and progress shots on here.  I mean, why not...
So until I get a news paper (Sunday???)
