Today was the final day of the challenge!!! I have seen a huge change this past week. Up until now my clothes were fitting better, I had more energy, I felt healthier, but it felt like the scale was stuck on that one weight!!! Three weeks ago (I think?!?!?!), I finally dropped below that weight plateau of 180 lbs. It gave me motivation but then it continued to stay at that weight for the next three weeks. With Easter this past weekend, and my hubby passing his PT test (which always leads to a very unhealthy meal celebration), I told myself I wasn't going to get on the scale. I was going to just work really hard the next two weeks and not let that bad week throw me off and lose my motivation. Well, I was moving the scale today and decided I would just get on it. To my surprise, I dropped another two pounds!!! So 17 pounds total on this 12 week journey!!! Woo hoo!!!
Also tonight, I crossed another milestone...I fit into another pair of pre-baby clothes. I have been trying on a pair of jeans for the past twelve weeks, and tonight...they zipped, and with no muffin top!!! When I started I couldn't even get them up over my hips! This just goes to show that i was always giving up on my healthy habits before I gave them time to show improvements. This is the first time I stuck with it beyond frustration point of seeing no results. I wanted to give up a million times, but I just did one day at a time, and before I knew it, I had created a habit. Then before I knew it again, it had been 12 weeks!!!
Well, sorry for all the !!! but gosh darn it...I'm excited!!!!!!!!
Stay tuned because the new me is just getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
