Well, it's been a two-month roller coaster ride doing this whole Chose To Lose thing. So far I have conquered triumphant over something that has given me grief for a long time. I am happy to report that I have lost just over 20 pounds!
But April will take an interesting term as everyone's pestering has gotten our HR manager to reveal numbers. This puts a target on me because I am number one in weight loss (ahead by 1.2 pounds) and number two in activity minutes (slightly behind 53 min.).
Some things I have found as I have gone through this process:
- How good I feel about myself. When I put something on I feel pretty good everyday.
- My shoes fit different! I have extra room in them and I have discovered this bone on the inside of my ankles... Wow! I have also discovered some bones in my wrist...
- I never paid attention to inches coming off my waist until I wore some pants for the first time the other day and this belt went in three loops past where it normally goes.
- Eating big meals makes me feel really crappy now. My stomach has grown accustomed to eating small things.
- I still struggle eating only when I am hungry. When I go to the grocery store I have to be careful not to buy things I might pick at late at night (i.e. ice cream sandwiches... yum!).
All in all, I am happy with myself. Today I have been plotting out a plan of how I can keep going and get to my goal of 30 pounds. Sometimes I ask myself if I have it to lose, and the answer is, "You will never know until you do what you need to do to find out!"
So, here is to four weeks and counting!!!
