Well...another week down. It is going so fast! This week's weigh in was much better than last week. I lost 4.6 pounds for a total of 31.4 pounds in 9 weeks. I know I have not giving my weigh before but anyone can go on the website and look so I might as well talk about in here. They best part about this weigh in is that I am now under 300 pounds! Mark my word...I will NEVER be that again. I can't believe that I ever let myself get that bad but I did. Know I have done the work to get better and get healthy again. Andrew asked me what my new goal was going to be now that I am under 300. I had not thought about it. So my new goal is that I want to be 275 by the end of the 15 weeks. With that being said to reach that goal I will have to loss around 3.5 pounds a week to be at 275. I know that I can do this.
This weekend I went through my closet to get rid of all of the cloths that are too big for my garage sale in two weeks. Mean do I have a lot of cloths that are too big!!! I love it! I fit into some old pants that were 4 sizes smaller than I had been wearing. That just feels so good. I had to go out and buy a belt for the first time in years to hold my pants up until I go and get new cloths. It was really hard not to get any new cloths because I know I would not be in them for long but I really just want to shop! I have not said that in a long time.
Another great thing happened today. I was getting ready for work this morning and after I got dressed I thought that I really looked pretty. I have not felt that way about myself in a very long time. Andrew would always get mad at me because he would always tell me how beautiful I was but I could not believe him because I did not believe it myself. I had on a jean skirt and a pretty fitted top on for the first time in a long time and I just told Andrew, I feel pretty today. I can't believe how much confidence I have regained since starting this. I believe in myself more and know that I can do anything that I put my mind too. When I gained all the weight I used to go to work every day in jeans and a T-shirt and my hair in a ponytail because I just did not care about what I looked like. Now, I am noticing that I make an effort in the morning when I get ready for work. I dress up for work now and enjoy looking nice with my hair and make-up done. It is crazy to me just how much I have changed the way I view myself in just the past 9 weeks.
In other updates, I tried running again for the first time in 3 weeks today. I did it very slowly and I only did a little bit here and there. I don't want to push it too soon. It is nice to know that when I was running it did not hurt! That is very good. I don't like being injured because I just feel like I can't give everything I have. Well, I think that is all for this week. Next week we do not weigh in until Tuesday morning before workouts because of a special class we have next Monday so you will have to wait until then to find out how this week goes.
