Ladies and gents, today is a big day for me. I finally hit 15 lbs. lost. I only have 10 more to go. Can you believe it? I sure as hell am having a hard time believing it right now. Back in January, when I made the choice to start getting healthier, those damn numbers would not budge. I mean, I was stuck between 155 lbs. - 157 lbs. and just really frustrated. It wasn't until late March, with a sexy new iPhone 3GS in hand and an app called "My Fitness Pal" did I really start to get serious. I was, and am, counting calories like a fiend and logging exercise as much as possible. I am looking for lower-cal options when I go out. I am taking "rest" days and have an upstanding date with my sister every Friday for "Fatty Friday". I am living and loving life, just more conscious of the choices I make in terms of my health! I still eat, just not as unhealthily as I have before. And it's all paying off.
I honestly thought the scale would go up today, as I haven't been making the best choices during lunch this week. My walks got cut down and I hit the gym, oh, once? I did exercise, but not as vigorous as I have done in the past. To top it off, my stress levels lessened and I attributed that nearly 5 lb. weight loss last week to stress (I tend to drop weight if I'm really stressed out). So not only was I eating, I wasn't exercising as much. That usually means some kind of gain. Then, on Saturday, I went to my cousin's wedding. Wedding = yummy food. And wedding cake.
Yeah, I figured all of that would make the scale jump. I was super nervous as I stepped onto the scale. I expected at least a pound to be added but ...
There was a pound less.
I cannot stress to you how thrilled I am about this. I am only 10 lbs away from my ultimate goal. It has taken a lot of hard work to get here and I am damned proud!
