Hello! Time for a quickie weight-loss update! Yesterday was the first WW meeting in 2 weeks, and I was pleased to be able to log a new low for my little book - 26#, but the more exciting news was what I logged for myself here this morning. I had my first glimpse of -30# !!!! I can't even express how excited I was to see that number for the first time! I saw -28# 3 times over break, but to suddenly jump to -30# was AMAZING! Realistically, I know I might not see that number again for awhile, but to see it at all was a huge motivator!
When I think about carrying something that weighs 30#.... like 6 bags of sugar..... there is no way I could carry that much in from the car in a grocery bag - I'd do 2 or 3 trips for that much! One "real" thing I have noticed is that I am walking better. My hips don't hurt any more when Hubs and I take walks to the park, and even in my normal daily routine, I feel like I am walking more "normal". Over the weekend, I saw a former neighbor that I hadn't seen since August, and she commented that she thought I was walking better too (and she said that even before she knew about my weight loss).
With the new year we have started a Biggest Loser competition at school. I signed up and did my weigh-in yesterday. My official weigh-in for that was -25#. Ha! I've SOOOO got this!!! :) Each contestant has to pay $10. Last year there were 30 people in my building who participated, so the top 3 winners got quite a nice amount - that's good to put towards some new clothes!
Ok - that's all for now. I just wanted to share! Thanks for hanging in here with me!
:)Amy
