It's been exactly 100 days since I took the plunge and started on this new healthy lifestyle. AND I FEEL GREAT!
So, what has changed in the last 100 days:
- Lost 48 lbs (at last weigh in last week)
- Lost 2 ring sizes. Bought a new wedding ring last weekend.
- Lost 4 pants sizes. Getting close to going to a new one.
- Added 4 new belt holes on my old belt.
- Averaging 4 mile run - 5 to 6 times a week.
- Was able to pass down/up some shirts to my dad.
- Signed up for my first 5k run which is on August 30th.
I'm like a kid in a candy store. I love updating my Facebook profile pic when new weight-losing pics. I love weigh-ins (I know that is horrible).
I use weigh-ins as a motivator. Carlyn, and several weight loss websites I've researched, thinks it's smart to only weight once a week. THAT KILLS ME! I understand the reasoning behind it, though. I shouldn't see all the little fluctuations that weight loss brings on. But still!
And what makes it worse, is that Carlyn agreed to buy me a massage when I hit my halfway point. I was at 48 lbs loss last Thursday morning. That's only 2 lbs away from my halfway point! (Yes..for those good at math...I'm shooting for a total of 100 lost). I could be halfway right now and not even know it! It kills me! But you better believe on Thursday morning, I'm going to be on that scale.
If you are reading this, let me tell you, it's hard work...but it is definitely worth it! No pills, no creams, no weird diet. Just exercise, watching calories, a friendly pushes from friends, family, and God! You can do it too!
Who's up for a run?
