It has been 5 months (19 weeks) since I've started my weight loss journey. I have been training with Heather at the gym for a 1/2 hour twice a week. In addition to that I have been burning at least 400 calories with cardio 5 times a week and doing some additional weight training on my own. I have been working hard and it is paying off!
I have lost a total of 26.5 pounds (the .5 is very important!).
It's such a great feeling to be successful! I am the lightest I have been since June 2008! I am down to my pre-Brayden weight (I was probably about 5lbs lighter before my 8 week pre-natal appointment-but that's the only number I have....so I'm going with it!).
People have been noticing my weight loss which has been nice. It's such a good feeling when some tells you that you look good. But the down side to that....I am beginning to slack a little.
February was a pretty difficult month. I've only lost about 4lbs in the past 5 weeks. Not good! Not bad either...but I'm used to losing 2-4lbs a week and that hasn't happened in so long. I realize that my weight loss will slow down but I really need to recommit to eating right. I am pretty faithful to the gym and my new found hobby of running. I know that if I make the right food choices and continue to exercise then I will continue to lose the weight.
I hope to lose another 15lbs by the time school is out in June. I'm hoping that running will help me do that. My first race is this Saturday. The big 4 Miler! I am excited and nervous....but pretty confident that I will be able to run the whole thing. I just hope not to come in last place!
Anyway, that's where I am with my weight loss. Hopefully in the next couple months I can say I am at my goal weight!!
