I like the way the scale is moving and it is keeping me motivated. I
lost 3.2 lbs this week - for a total of 7.8 lbs in 2 weeks! The feeling
of accomplishment is a good one, and a foreign one to me in the area of
weight loss. This week's loss is significant because...
- I am now out of the 200's, which unless I'm pregnant with triplets, I hope to never see again.
- Instead of having a goal to lose 67 lbs, it is now in the 50's (59.2 to be exact=).
- I still weigh less than my husband, although he is closing in oh-so fast (I don't know why this bothers me so much.... maybe its a southern thing, as if weighing more than your husband makes you less 'delicate' or something).
Also this week, I have a new source of motivation. A few days ago I received my lab results from my yearly physical. My LDL/bad cholesterol was high at 124. My whole life I have been a "healthy fat person". Many use their health issues to push them to lose weight - I never had that until now. So no longer do I only care about looking hot in heels.
Overall, it was a very good week: one of trying something new by taking zumba (twice), falling off the wagon and getting back on again (twice), and staying focused on the prize - a healthier, thinner mom to 2 energetic little girls. Who happens to look hot in heels.
