love the lifestyle...

I know it's been awhile ..I had a week in there that I gained 3 pounds - which was a shock .. but otherwise been doing a bit here and there ... (last week was a 1.5 pound lost and this week was a 0.5 loss) ... so yes it's coming but damn it's coming slowly .. At least right now I'm at the lowest weight I've been in over 7 years ... I'm so proud of that.
Current weight: 204
LOSS this week: -0.5
Total loss since on this journey: 54 pounds
Total weight loss during 10 week goal timeline: 14 pounds - 6 pounds to go!!  (and only 2.5 weeks left .. eek!).

Today I want to talk about a few things:

1) a quote that I heard on the biggest loser that really stuck with it. The trainer said to one of the individuals "don't fall in love with the results ... fall in love with this (refering to exercise) .. fall in love with the new lifestyle" . It's true it's easy to get stuck on the rsults and how much weight we've lost but the trainer is right ... we should take the time to reflect and love the new life that we have created - a life full of healthy eating and clean foods ... loving the way it makes you feel and loving the healthy person you have become is the important part ..not just the numbers.
Love the change you have made to your life ... don't just love the results. Love the exercise and love the healthy foods. I'm going to try and focus on this idea this week to encourage me to stay focused and on track. I'm so happy and I feel great - THAT is the best part of this journey.

2) Second thing I wanted to share were two great moments for me
1- I fit into a size 12 dress pant. I had bought them from costco over 2 years ago in hopes of fitting in them one day (they never actually fit me properly) ... amazingly I put them on randomly one day and they were almost TOO big for me. This was a great moment for me.

2 - The other day Nick picked me up .. literally picked me up ... he used to do this all the time, however it's been awhile ... as soon as he picked me up he looked at me and said "wow .. you're light .. I guess I haven't picked you up in awhile" - this made me smile...he physically could feel the difference between my body weight ... that's pretty cool.

Just two moments I wanted to share that encouraged me and reminded me why I work so hard.

Thanks everybody for your continued support.
