Chad mentioned something last night that has inspired this post.
I cleansed yesterday and was whining about being hungry (haha) and he mentioned how he hasn't received one of my Fitness Pal updates in awhile and it's true, I haven't sent any. Because there really isn't much to report.
Since hitting the 100 lb lost mark, it's been VERY slow moving. Painfully slow. Yet, I am not the least bit discouraged because it is still coming off and hopefully - at this pace, it means I will not only continue but maintain the success I've had thus far.
I also don't measure my success entirely on the scale.
But alas, to date
I have...
Lost 111.4 lbs
Lost over 84 inches
I am jogging, jumping and have more energy than I have in years.
I work out six times a week
I kicked up the work-out regime and added in a Cardio Kick boxing class (which I have a love/hate relationship with)
I eat whatever I want and rarely feel guilty. I still make good choices but I am not a prisoner to food.
So. I am happy. Progress is still happening and generally speaking I feel pretty fabulous.
I am still here. I am still accountable and I will keep going.
One thing I must comment on. People really start to notice it more now and the most common question is:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING/HOW DID YOU DO IT?
I find this such a funny question, I giggle every time because they're hoping for some magic cure or something. I think most people assume I had surgery to lose as much as I did in a relatively short period of time. I have an enormous amount of pride when I tell them it really came down to a lot of hard work at the gym and being really smart with nutrition and fueling my body with what it needs to do the job it is designed to do.
This isn't a sprint. It's a life-long marathon and I'm still chuggin' along :)
Thank you to those of you out there who have supported me in this endeavor. It is definitely noticed AND appreciated!
