Today is a good day…no, correction, today is a FANTASTIC day! As i painfully crawled out of bed this morning, with the sun barely up, I hopped on the scale not really expecting to see a lower number, since i had a couple of drinks last night and thought for sure the number would be higher, but much to my delight, the scale said 150 on the nose!! This just totally made my day.
I haven’t been working out much lately so i can’t say I’m surprised that i haven’t lost my last 6 lbs, but to see 150 this morning just made me so happy and just inspired me to really get back into my workout routine to lose those last 5 lbs. Imagine how fast they’ll go when i start working out again? If i managed to lose weight (very slowly mind you) just by eating right and doing litlle things like always taking stairs instead of escalators, then I know that with a good solid 2 or 3 weeks of intense workouts, i’ll just blast those 5 lbs out of the park!
Now that I have reached the 1 year mark since I started this whole weight loss journey, I am truly happy and proud of myself for the results that i’ve achieved. Losing any amount of weight is not easy, but to have lost 86 pounds in 1 year is really impressive for me and I am even prouder of the fact that not only did i shed all that weight but I did it the healthy way. I worked hard and changed my lifestyle…I wasn’t looking for a quick fix, because I know that that would never have worked. So it really does prove the fact that with a lot of hard work and determination anyone can do this! And what is 1 year out of your life when you can add so many more years to your life…Isn’t it worth it to live a long, healthy life, I think so.
