More than halfway there!!!!

Apr 29, 2012

I am FINALLY to the point that I have lost more than half of what I wanted to lose! I have less to lose than I have lost! YAY!!! 

Yes, I have 110lbs to lose yet, but I am confident it will happen.

I have started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I convinced my daughter to do it with me, lol.. she woke up this morningand was SORE. I am not. I feel good. The only pain I have is in my foot, where my daughter dropped a 3lb weight on my foot.

I have been working out daily, and building more and more muscle. I knew it would slow down my weightloss at first, but I am glad I did it. I am stronger than ever and have more mobility than I have in years. I can bend down to tie my shoes, put on socks while standing up. I have had to move the seat in my car up so far that my boyfriend has to put it back to drive! He used to be the one moving it up!!

My head hasnt caught up with my body yet, but I am wearing a size 22 in jeans and pants, and shirts are still a 2X, but they look better. Size 3X is too big on me now, and I am hoping to start dropping weight quickly again. I need to start running, but still am not doing it - well, I am sporadically, but not as often as I would like.

College  starts up again tomorrow, and I am in the middle of my Six Sigma Green Belt course - so, I will be busy all the time now. Being stuck on the computer is going to suck, but it will all be worth it. Fortunately, I can do some of the reading while I work out at the gym. 

If I ever had any advice for someone trying to lose weight it is this - focus on strength training for a while - it might take a few months to lose weight, but once you do, it falls off!! I love being stronger and able to do more. I went to our Community Service Day at work yesterday, and was able to move heavy things, and life things up and around. It was terrific!! I felt good and I know I look good now! I am feeling so much stronger and better, and didnt get tired at all!! 

Ok, laundry is done - time to go start another load, and get busy on my homework!!
