My Weightloss Journey... So Far
To date I've lost 25.2 lbs. My goal in the end is to get down about 80lbs, which would make my end weight around 175 - 180lbs. I have to say that I'm happy with the way things are going for me, I average about 1 1/2lbs per week, I'm very VERY happy for that.
On top of just eating properly, I've started going to the gym three times a week. Twice for a circuit workout and once for a Zumba class. It's tough, but so far I think it's working for me. It's a good feeling at the end of a workout to be sore and sweaty and tired, but you think to yourself, geez I feel great.
I have a lot of support to help me develop this new lifestyle I strive for. There's the people at the meetings that are there once a week and applaud all the accomplishments and encourage you through the hiccups that your path might have. Then there's the gym. My neighbor tries to come with me once in a while, and there's the instructors there that are all encouraging to... well, pretty much everybody. And my friends and family. Coming out and telling them exactly how much I weigh and what I'm doing was the best thing I could've done for myself. So many people have been or are on weight watchers, there's so much support everywhere I turn. It's awesome.
This post is more of a reflection than anything else. I'm trying to remember where I started and how I got here. It's great for reminding myself that even though it's been tough, it's worth it, in the end I'll be better for this change.
