Getting There

Yesterday I woke up early and did a 30 minute run/walk program.

2 minutes run, 3 minutes walk

repeat, repeat, repeat

Every time I had to run, I thought, "Why am I doing this?."

I then would remind myself that it's going to be so great to fit into my skinnier clothes.

I would remind myself how much more confident I am.

I would remind myself how many years (possibly) I'm adding to my life with my husband and twins.

I would remind myself... it's worth it!

There are definitely days now that I don't feel like working out.
Maybe because I'm still sick.
Maybe because it's hard sometimes.

Yesterday was one of those days.

I woke up to falling snow.

It was pretty, but it made it just a little bit harder to go over to our clubhouse and work out.

I did it anyway.

This morning I weighed myself.

I finally made my 10% goal!

I actually passed my goal. I lost 3 pounds since last Tuesday's weigh-in. I now weigh 145.5 pounds.

Here is my newest pic!

It has been 7 weeks since I started this journey. I want to thank my readers and followers for your loving and thoughtful reminders and comments on why it is worth it and why I shouldn't give up.

Thank you.

Obviously, my weight loss journey is not yet over. My next goal is to lose the next 10 pounds.

How I plan to do it:

*Work out 5-6 days a week using weights, running, and varying workouts.

*Make sure I eat enough.

*Drink plenty of water.

*Indulge in a special dinner and dessert one night a week, so I don't completely binge one day.

*Blog, blog, and blog for accountability.
