MILESTONES (and pics)
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share a few milestones I'm really excited about. Today I weighed in at 178lbs!!!! This major for me for a few reasons: 1) I've been in a short stall for a couple of weeks - stuck at 181lbs. 2) I now only have 38lbs til I reach my goal weight and 3) I've finally reached a point in my weight loss journey where I actually believe I will reach my goal. I have no idea how 3lbs could do all that - lol - but it has.
On top of that, I am now wearing a size 10!!!!! I bought my first pair of skinny and straight legged jeans this past weekend! I still haven't found the words to express how it feels everytime i slip my legs into these jeans - lol. It's overwhelming to say the least. I layed them on top of my size 24 slacks I was wearing everyday before surgery and I couldn't believe the difference. My goal size is a 6 - I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it though - lol. But that will be a few weeks off - so I've got time to get my head together.
Lastly, I've been walking 4.5 miles a day - 5-6 days a week. Today I finished my 3 mile walk and as I was starting on my last lap and I felt like running. At first I thought - nah - you're crazy - just finish up your walk and go home. But I really felt like I wanted to do it - so I started and I finished my last 1.5 miles in 15 minutes! I know it's not the fastest time - but that was a MAJOR milestone!!!! I am so excited to know I can do it again after all these years. I always thought it would be nice to be able to do it - but I wouldn't even let myself dream.
I'm so grateful for where God has brought me to this year. I'm excited to see what the rest of this year will bring. Take care and be extra good to yourself!

Congrats on it all! So wonderful to reach those goals and know you can go even beyond them. Wow, the running one is encouraging. I have tried jogging and I cannot believe I can do that, even for the short distance I do it. Enjoy the journey and as you stated, be good to yourself! You deserve it! God loves you and wants to give you those blessings. Enjoy every one of them!
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
TYTYTY AdeanaMarie!!!! You are absolutely right and I'm convinced He does love me!!! I've found that since starting this process I'm more sensative to every blessing - great or small! I'm so grateful and trying to enjoy it all! When I think of how hopeless I felt a year ago at this time, I'm humbled by how God has opened doors and favored me beyond my wildest dreams! I'm learning to love myself the way He does and to be good to myself as well as everyone else. :-)
The best is yet to come!!!

I agree! A thankful heart is a happy heart! It is contagious! Keep counting the blessings and keep sharing. It helps us all!
The journey here on Earth is temporary compared to eternity. But while we are here, we need to live to the fullest and enjoy as much as well can. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on all your accomplishments. You've done an amazing job and you're looking happy, healthy and WOW!
I've read so much about folks who start jogging/running.........I keep telling myself that I want to try doing those, but can't imagine how yet. Nice to think about, though! And you're doing it! WTG!!!
Be proud............keep workin' that sleeve!
