Thursday was a big one.....It was the last week of our At Work Session (17 weeks session). In the beginning (back in Nov) I had quietly made goals of reaching a 20 lb loss, which would also take me to being under 200 lbs and just around the corner from reaching the 10% loss mark. Well, I stepped on the scale and had a 3 lb. weight loss this week. This 3 lb loss on the LAST day of our 17 week session is what brought me to reaching my 20 lb loss, my entry into ONEderland (being under 200 lbs.) and the aroma of reaching my 10% as I am only .9lb away from being there. In addition, this is also the week that I am fitting into my size 14 clothing (I started WW on the verge of an 18). One more thing is that this is also the week that multiple people at the office have commented on my weight loss. I guess you can say this is a pretty monumental week in my journey. MANY milestones have been reached and I am ecstatic as you can imagine.
I hadn't set up a reward for reaching these goals. I didn't even think to do it, but now that I am here, I really feel it kinda necessary to reward myself in some none food related way. Even though I am kinda broke (who isn't), I am sure I can scrounge up a couple of bucks for a new pair of jeans or an adorable dress to show off all of my hard work. One of my closest friends and motivating WW buddy and I are going shopping this afternoon. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I am putting it in my head that it is a necessity (really, I do need smaller clothing).
While I am super stoked about all of this I am also scared, and I am pretty sure I have good reason to be, but I need to not let it hold me back from continuing my journey and reaching goals (that I still have yet to make now that I've reached these) and eventually reaching the ultimate goal. More on my fears in another post....stay tuned, I may need your encouragement, words of wisdom, and hand to hold. ;) Have a beautiful day!

How wonderful!!!! You should be soooo proud! 20lbs is alot... I know! In 1994 I weighed 213.. which is alot for my 5'5 body! I lost it in 9 months. I worked very hard at it... then I had a job for 8 yrs that kept my weight down without exercise and just lightly watching my diet. I no longer have that job....
ReplyDeleteWhen weight started creeping back on last year (13lbs) and I noticed alot of my body looking super flabby.. I jumped back on the eat clean and exercise bandwagaon in Dec. Now I'm motivated to strength and cardio train more than ever.
Keep it up!! And don't buy to many new clothes if you plan to keep losing... you'll get there.. it takes time. If you need exercise ideals, I've got them! I bore easily... and hate the gym... my husband is letting me build a home gym... its coming along well.. we r on a budget so I can't buy everything at once!
I have never been to Mary Jo's.. I checked out the web site!! Looks good!
Maybe for a reward you could buy some fabric sometime!
