We got back last night from a really nice trip to Asheville, NC. We ate some food, drank, bought books, listened to midnight farmers, ate Indian food (of course) and drove on the blue ridge parkway. Saturday was spent walking and more walking and even a small bit of getting lost (on foot, sorta drunk) on our way back to the hotel. Note to self: your GPS only works for driving 
I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I had intended, but here are a few.

I've come up with a new way to track my weight loss progress while going through some old clothes last week. At some point about five years ago I was a size 20 and I had a bunch of clothes in the size, but eventually sold them except for one pair of old navy jeans. I don't know why I kept them, possibly out of hope to someday wear them again. I tried them on and I couldn't get them up past my hips/upper thighs.
I knew they obviously wouldn't fit, but I had a visual of the weight I've put on and kept on since that short stint in the 240's. I was sad that I filled out places that didn't even exist at one point. Its a weird feeling, and sometimes easier to see numbers as something totally different than actual space that fat takes up.
Today, I'm going to shoot a picture of myself in those jeans exactly how they fit right now. And each week I'm going to continue taking a photo of myself in them until they fit and I can wear them. I know fitting in them is about 40lbs away from now. My goal is to fit into them by mid-summer. Its not that I'm partial to the jeans, they have a hole in the knee (due to an unforunate fall on my way to philosophy class, my junior year) , but that size is where I want to be next.

Wednesday I'm joining in with Krissie and her offical QuestionsForDessert Food Journal Challenge! I'm really excited and love food photo journaling, plus I'd like a subscription to everyday food.
Love your idea to track your progress (especially since the scale sometimes lies!) and I love your workout plan this week (do-able, planned and a good variety). I’m also doing the food journal challenge and find that it’s already encouraging me to prepare better meals and snacks since they tend to photograph better than junk. And I’m all for pretty pictures!
What a great idea!
Fabulous ideas to get your motivation up!
Taking pictures will definitely give keep you focused!
Exercise schedule looks good too..Kudos for taking the time to pan it out.
Keep up the great work
I do the same thing, well, except for taking the picture, which I may try.
I have a pair of pre-pregnancy/pre-eating all the damn time pants.
I really want to be back into them.
Funny thing is, I thought I was HUGE then, at a size 16.
Humph.
What a difference a few years can make.
Yay for your workout schedule. That is something i really need to work on.
Great idea for tracking your progress!
I’ve heard Asheville is a great place. I always love the views from the blue ridge parkway.
Asheville!
