2/3 the woman I used to be...

Feb 25, 2012

Today, I am 2/3 of the woman I used to be. A big milestone for sure. After that 17 day stall, the scale is in "woosh" mode right now so I very happy to step on the scale this morning and see 250. I started at 375, so that means that I have lost 1/3 of my total body weight - NOT weight I want to lose, but my total body weight. Crazy! I have 75 more to go to be at my "what does that look like" weight. I almost feel like I can make it there. At times over the past 8 months, it has seemed so unattainable, but today... today it seems within reason.

So yeah, I got on the scale, cried a few tears of joy and had my breakfast of protein drink. Onward. My next mini goal is really fast coming up - at 247, I will be under 40 BMI. I have fleeting thoughts of hitting that in the next week - a birthday gift to myself, but that may not be reasonable as I've lost 5 pounds in the past week and that's usually all I get from a whoosh. But it would still be really really cool. We'll see. Not going to kill myself over it.

This has been an insanely crazy journey. I'm loving every minute of it!

Edit: I also blogged about this on my personal blog
