My weigh in and other ramblings…
Well I’m down to 251. Once I get under 250 I’ll be the smallest I’ve been in I don’t know how long - at least 2 years I think. I’m pretty excited to be close to that number and I’ll be even more excited to be UNDER it because that would be a real forward moving accomplishment. Hope that makes sense? I guess what I mean is to be under that weight in my head is like saying that I’m really going to be able to do this and I can keep going…
Weight loss is so day by day because the bigger picture is so overwhelming when you have 150 pounds to loose. But seeing that mini goal in the future and having a resonable date to accomplish it has really kept me going. I can’t wait to see 225 (then 199, then 188 - yes I have my future mini goals planned out I’m type A ha-ha) and I know I won’t stop unti I see every goal number in my head. It drives me to keep going.
I want to say to anyone who think it will take losing 100 pounds to feel better physically and emotionally that even at 37 pounds of weight loss I feel like a whole new woman. I actually love to exercise! Some days are harder to get to the gym but I go anyway and when I’m done I feel better than when I went in. I wouldn’t say I’ve been hit by a ton of new found energy or anything. A lot of diet commercials and people say how much energy they get back. I am still a big fan of sitting on the couch and watching TV in the evenings (after my work out) but I can tell that I’m less likely to be a totaly potato about it. Some nights I might even get up and do a few sets of arm bands during commercials or do some light yoga poses…or even “bench press” my little dog Teddy b/c he thinks that is playing - hahaha!
OK I’ll quit rambling…but last thing. I’m SOOO excited to watch the finale of Biggest Loser tonight. I really hope a woman wins the whole thing this time. I’ve never watched this show before but it really inspires me. I’m sad it is going off the air after tonight. But there is always next season! Hopefully I’ll be down a few more mini goals by then.
Happy Tuesday!

I loved reading your blog. I can tell how much of an inspiration you will be to us all.
You have that type of personality that gets things done. Once you have your mind set, WATCH OUT WORLD!!!!
I too have so much to lose, the goals seem so far away, but one day at a time is the only way to get through this.
We will all be better people once we are healthy!!!
Looks to me like you are on the right track..and KUDOs to you on exercising!!!
You always have such a wonderfully positive attitude.
YOU ROCK! Keep up the good work
You are doing so great. I love your attitude. And you are right, it is hard to exercise sometimes but we still have to do it. It’s at those times that we exercise when we really don’t want to that we are becoming stronger. Keep up the good work!
I love your outlook! You’ve come so far already it’s amazing!
Sometimes it IS hard to exercise…my best friend the couch calls my name so lovingly…you’ve given me some great idea of what to do when I give in to it! Thank you!
Great for you. work it out girl.
