Dealing with the Mundane

I am about nine weeks into my journey now.  The excitement is beginning to wane and eating right seems like such a chore.  Where did my motivation go???  I have to get my priorities realigned and keep pressing ahead.  The problem with trying to change your life is that you can never stop.

This is a fight to the death.  Either I fight back against obesity or I lose my chance at a healthy life.

I have been good and logging my food and exercise everyday in the Lose It! app and trying to keep up on the message boards.  Support is so important and I have got a small group of folks that are facing similar challenges as me, but we are determined to spur one another on.

In two weeks, I run my first 5K, hoping I don't collapse halfway through.  I will let you know how it goes!

On the Verge

Yesterday, my I officially hit a 22 pound weight loss.  That means I am just one pound away from having less than 100 pounds to lose.  That is such a huge milestone for me.  I see myself differently after just a few weeks, clothes that were too tight are loose and people see a difference too.  Just 26 pounds until I hit One-derland and that seemed so off before.

It is amazing when you can achieve something that didn't seem entirely possible when you started.  I knew I had to lose weight, but seeing myself eight weeks later, I can't believe how far I have come.
