Where do I sign up to be an official MF success story? Does anybody know how I get myself into People's
Half Their Size
issue? Weeks like this past week leave me 100% confident that I am going to have finished this weight loss journey before I know it, crossing the finish line with a big grin plastered across my face. My only regret is not coming back to MF sooner!
In 4 weeks I have lost 18.2lbs. I am officially joining the ranks in the
80# Club. I have hit the 180s...something I have been
struggling to do for months. To top it all off, less than 20lbs from now I will have lost a whopping 100lbs! That is a milestone I cannot wait to reach and now that it is so close I am charging full steam ahead to get there as soon as possible. I have come so far from when I started this journey. When I was 271lbs wearing a size 22, making it to the 180s and a size 14 seemed impossible. I mean, technically, I am not in 14s yet as I haven't bought any, but most of my 16s are decidedly very lose so I will likely be shopping this week so I figure that counts. lol
All in all, I hope everyone struggling out there can just remember that ultimately, every loss counts. It is all cumulative. I have had weeks of supreme frustration when I only register a 2lb or 3lb loss, but each pound loss is a one pound we have less to lose. This week is a prime example. I lost 3lbs, but hit what I consider to be three major milestones...and 3lbs ago that was not the case. Every loss is worth celebrating...and I think this is a good reminder to myself that it truly is not a cop out to coach oneself to remember that a pound lost is a pound lost and not gained and that it is truly a
big deal worthy of a pat on the back.
Ok, enough of the cheerleader routine.
Hit the gym this morning for another 30 minute/2mile walk/jog and it was definitely a butt kicker. I am hoping to make it a few more mornings this week so I can really ramp up my cardio endurance again...I was kind of shocked at just how winded I was. I had to slow it down the last five minutes or so because I was starting to get a tad dizzy, which is unheard of for me, so I definitely packed an extra MF meal to get me through today. My lunch is a big leafy salad and broiled scallops that I cooked up last night in advance. I brought along some Momentum so I have some in the office for throughout the week. Other than that, I am just looking forward to next weigh-in!
