WOW moments - Sunday, 6/6/10

Jun 08, 2010

Hello all,

I haven't been around for awhile however I am making a point to return at least x1/week just because.

I have to tell you my WOW moment that happened to me on Sunday, 6/6/10.
I have been on a weight loss plataeu for ever (as of Jan10) and have been in the 160's forever.  My doctor told me back in January that I needed to exercise and I obediently said "I promise."  I didnt keep my promise and though I have been watching what goes into my mouth, I didn't exercise and the scale has not moved.  I have been slowly allowing myself to eat goodies and the whole time I open my mouth to insert food I think "why are you doing this?" 

Anyways, I decided to take a stand against my old self (who is trying to reappear again) and  joined a fitness challenge weight management center which is really nothing more than an honest to god "army bootcamp" - the woman who owns it refuses to smile and the only time she speaks is to yell at you or tell you that your aren't doing an exercise properly (but I actually like her).  Well, I went to sign up on Sunday and about a group of 10 or so was there for orientation.

Once the orientation was thru, we had to have a public weigh in and everyone heard the "Sargent" yell out your weight and body fat %.  Well, low and behold, even though I'm still not at goal (need to lose about 26 lbs more) I was the smallest person there and in fact, while building the courage to join up and give my pep talk to myself (I think I can, I think I can, I know I can...) I lost one lbs (which is kind of funny - sweat it right off out of fear!)  NEVER in all of my life have I EVER been the smallest person in the group - usually the largest or 2nd largest.  This was an awsome WOW moment for me however dont think for a moment that I was feeling smug - I was just in awe that I was able to come this far.

Wish me luck and hopefully next time I blog, I tell you I met goal!!!
