I'm so damn close to being under 200 and it's driving me crazy. Since my last post I gained 2 pounds (from a bachelorette drinking evening -threw off the week) .. and then this week I lost 3 pounds .. which is really only like losing 1 pound from my overall goal .. alas I'm at 201 ... bah! The few months I've been working out like a dog, eating healthy and it's like a road block .. just comes off soooo slowly (we all get to that point I get it ... because your body gets adjusted to exercise and new eating routines etc. but the pace is frustrating!)
I think I have realized how difficult it really is to lose weight .. it's definitely a never ending battle. That being said I have a lot to celebrate ...
1) As much as I hate that it's going slowly I'm physically active and eating healthy.
2) Since the beginning of September I've been working out on average 5 days a week CONSISTENTLY which is very exciting. Being able to work out with my trainer 2x a week has been fabulous. There's nothing like working out when there's somebody there to push you to be all you can be.
3) At 201 I'm still going down and I'm at the lowest I have been in over 2 years. total loss - 57 pounds!
4) I feel like I have so much more strength and muscle which feels fantastic!
I still would LOVE to be under 200 by Jeff and Laura's wedding (in 2 weeks). It's doable but it is going to take some dedication.
This week has shown me how difficult it is to really get the weight off - losing every pound is like trying to finish the last page of a university essay - grueling, exhausting and never ending.
That being said they always say nothing in life worth doing is easy. I sure hope that's true - some days I wonder.
I leave you with this picture .. it's my motivational photo of the day and fits in nicely with what I feel that I need.
Happy Monday everybody!
