Well it's been a little while since I've blogged, so I thought I'd catch you up. First, Happy New Year! I did indeed hit my goal of 50 lbs gone in 2011. That was amazing. I was so excited. I am still on the fitness bandwagon. I workout 5 days a week Mon-Fri. 3 of those days I do an additional workout in the evening. Working out has really become a part of me. I don't make excuses of why I can't, I just do it. I know that it is needed to hit my goals. I don't believe I have ever had the determination that I have now.
I feel absolutely amazing. I have waaaaaaayyyyy more energy. I don't have the pain as bad in my knees when climbing stairs. My body is literally being sculpted in front of my eyes. It's amazing to see the changes from week to week. Hubby is very happy! :) I currently am wearing an 18 in shirts and a 20 in pants. I have yet to buy any 20s though. My 22s are sagging pretty badly now, so I think it's time I took another trip to the store.
Today I hit another milestone, I have lost a total of
60.4 lbs!!!! I decided to look up things that weigh 60 lbs. Here's what I found:
- The average 9 year old boy
- 6-10 lb bags of potatoes
- 5 adult 10 pin bowling balls (the BIG ones)
- 3 car tires
- 6 fat cats
- 2 microwaves
- about 8 gallons of milk
- 240 sticks of butter
- Christopher holding a 15 lb dumbell
I am mighty proud of myself. I currently weigh. 264.6 lbs. If you recall, before I was subtracting 5 lbs from my weight to account for the difference when I switched scales. Well, that got old. I know my new scale is the right weight because it matches my doctor's office. So...what I did was I changed my start weight. If I had my current scale when I started my journey, I would have weighed 325 lbs (yikes). So now, no more calculating at the scale. I know...why am I still talking about those 5 lbs. I worked for them and I can't let them go away because I got a new scale. It's just part of my process.
January 31st I will be posting more before and after pics so stay tuned. I am hoping to lose 9.6 more lbs by then. That would put me at a 20 lb mark for the month and a 70 lb loss in 3 months. It's pretty ambitious but I'm up for the challenge. Thanks for all of the support and accountability!
DETERMINATION!!!!!
