That's right folks. I'm down 50 pounds. By the grace of God ... I didn't gain any weight over this past weekend. Thank you metabolism. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I woke up Tuesday morning feeling bloated and sluggish. I think I'll limit my splurges to one night only and not spread them out over the course of the weekend!
As I get closer to by goal weight .... I realize that I need to lose much more. So my goal weight has changed. I'd like to lose another 53 pounds. I don't think that is a weight I can maintain even though it is a healthy weight. But I'd like to try it out. I weigh now what I weighed in grad school. Even though my flab is distributed differently .. I'm starting to shape up. It's really cool watching my body transform. It would be even cooler if it would happen at a faster pace:)
I can no longer fit into any of my old clothes which means my wardrobe is VERY limited. I bought one pair of jeans ... a size 16 thank you very much. And one new suit for work ... a size 15. And I've bought some new work out clothes. I can't be looking like a slob at the gym! New panties were a must. Even my bras are too big. The rest will have to wait until I drop another size. Dresses are more forgiving so I can get away with still wearing them for work and church. It is actually very frustrating and not something I ever considered when starting this journey.
My time in the gym has been limited over the past week. That seems to make the biggest difference with my energy levels and how I feel. If I don't get at least an hour of sweat in a day ... I can tell a big difference.
Anyway .... another goal accomplished. My journey continues.
