Good afternoon everyone and happy Saturday! I hope this Oregon rain finds you all cozy and comfy. Going from 70 degree October weather to temperatures in the 50s, we are all aware that fall has finally come to Oregon.
Today I slept in but forced myself to wake up in order to officially weigh in. I was so excited to see where I ended my week and I am happy to report that this week I lost 2.4 pounds!
That means, my overall weight loss from my heaviest weight last November has reached 20.4 pounds, and my weight loss since starting this most recent journey is 10.8 pounds!
I can't tell you the number of times I wish I could fast forward a few months so I could be closer to my goal. I know that it's a journey, but that "instant-gratification" mindset can make it difficult to stick with things.
Each week, I can see changes happen both on and off the scale, which drive my determination to let the process take as long as it takes. My energy is better, my clothes are looser, I do not feel as hungry all the time, and I certainly do not feel horrible after eating a salad like I had before after eating pizza, Chinese food, Mexican food, fast food... you get the idea.
I am so excited to see where this journey takes me. I know with patience and perseverance I will reach my goal and nothing will feel better. It is a personal accomplishment that will rank just as high as graduating Valedictorian, graduating college in 3 years with honors, and any promotions I receive at work.
This is something I am doing for me. I want this SO bad, and nothing will stand in my way...no matter how long it takes.
So proud of you!! You should share with us your weekly meal plan, favorite healthy meals or snacks so we can follow your example :) YOU GO GIRL.
