The New Me….

Today was our 14th weigh-in and I lost another 1.5lbs!!!! That puts my total at 46lbs and I am extremely excited to be so cose to 50lbs gone FOREVER! I had a good week sticking to my points and getting to the gym. This week I had my best “last chance workout” ever. (Heather and I watch The Biggest Loser, obviously) We both try to get to the gym on Thursdays for a LCW and I really pushed myself this week. I started with 25 mins of weight machines and then went and did 1 hour on the eliptical. I bumped up my resistance and burned 900 calories and did 4.5 miles. The best part about it was I didn’t even feel like I was ging to die!
OK. That’s my good news, now on to my negative side. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think, “no way am I going to take this body and shrink it. I wear a 30/32 top (I was “blessed” with a big rack) and a 22/24 bottom and I really think one day I’ll be in an aveage size??” I just don’t see it. I still see the same person in the mirror so far even though my family says I look smaller, I really don’t SEE it.
I do feel it though, less pain in my feet, longer stamina at the gym, that sort of thing. I know it takes time, maybe 2-3 years or more. I also know that if I were to quit, in 2-3 years I would be above and beyond the weight I started at now and almost 30 years old! No thank you. So even though I don’t see it, I will push and prove myself wrong because YES, I CAN DO IT!
