So much has changed since January! Last I knew I have lost 14 pounds, 16 inches, gained some muscle and endurance, quit smoking....oh the achievements seem endless. Only (almost) three months in and I feel like I am creating a new life.
Took Westley (who's 6 1/2) with me running tonight. He did great! I love seeing how the kids are realizing how important exercise and being healthy is to me. We don't eat fast food, we make stuff at home or choose responsibly at a restaurant (on occasion).
I tried on my wedding dress in March and was SHOCKED at how much bigger it was - mostly because I couldn't believe I was that big. Started looking through wedding photos and almost cried....but then I had to bring myself back to reality and say - look, you're working on changing and see how far you've come! :)
I have committed to this month (April) of not looking at the scale or taking measurements. I think the reason I accepted this challenge is because I have made this into a lifestyle change and by not looking at the scale I am forced to concentrate on that instead of the thrill of the loss (or disappointment of no loss).
I can do this. I can.
