Drum roll please.... Today I got on the scale and I have lost a total of 20 lbs!!!! Yay!!! Happy Dance. Only 85 lbs to go.
What I weigh today is what I weighed when Ben and I got married in January of 2010.
I mark my weight loss goals with specific events that have happened in my life.
-15 more lbs (35 lbs total) I will weigh what I weighed when I met Ben in 2009
-20 more lbs (55 lbs total) is what I weighed when Jenny, Jilly and I were working out at the gym 5 days a week together in 2006
-30 more lbs (85 lbs total) is when I graduated from College in 2003
-20 more lbs (105 lbs total-Hit my target weight loss)-What I weighed when I started college in 1998.
Yes, it is sad to say over the past 13 years I've gained over 105 lbs. I know that I can make it back to what I weighed in 1998, which will make me happier and healthier.
This weight loss journey has taught me so much about myself. I have become conscience of the decisions I make. I'm an emotional eater, so whenever I have the urge to eat to comfort, I think about why I want to eat and then I resist the temptation. I have taken control of my life again and it feels great. I had to take a week off prior to vacation, because I was sick and recovering from the accident. Monday I started working out again and will be back on my 6 day a week training program. After I loose the next 35 lbs, I will post a before and half way through picture on the blog.
