11 Weeks Out - 42.4 Pounds Gone!!!

Nov 22, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I'm not really looking forward to the festivities today, as they revolve around food and I can't really eat much.  I'm really excited that  I've now lost 38.5% of my excess weight!  I'm not losing as fast as some people, but I keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race.  

I'm averaging a loss of just over a half pound per day.  I can so totally live with that!  I've already went from a size 20 down to a 16, and now the 16's are starting to be baggy especially in the thigh area.  *Remember I'm 5'8"* Don't want anyone to get discouraged, I forget that my being taller allows me to wear a smaller size at the same weight.

I've noticed that I normally drop a pants size for approximately every 20 lbs or so.  So I'm hoping to be in a size 14 by Christmas, New Years at the latest!  I'm also hoping to hit ONEderland before New Years, I really want to start 2013 under 200lbs.  Would be an amazing start to what I'm planning on being an amazing year.  I have so many plans, dreams and expectations.  Not just for my health, but also for my finances, travel and just general overall happiness.

I'm really hoping to get in quite a bit of gym time over this long four day weekend.  I plan on hitting the gym today after visiting my mom's.  I refuse to continue to be fat!  I'm willing to go without the things I love, and to do the things I hate to do, if that means I can break free from the prison my body has become.  I'm still amazed that I can cross my legs at the knee know, and run up a flight of stairs and not be winded, or do 33 minutes *the weight loss program* on the elliptical and not wanna die.  I've already improved my health and wellness so much.  Cannot wait to keep kicking my inner fat chicks ass!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, don't let your eyes be bigger than your pouch!  But remember to take the time to enjoy life!
