I am not even sure where I have left off but I would be happy to give my most recent update. September was a great month for me and I have found myself down around 10 lbs! It was a slow summer for my weight loss since April but this fall I have really been on it and back on track. I am now in the 250's and so close to some of the lowest weights I have ever been at! The main motivation for me right now is imagining the Holidays and wanting to look and feel great seeing my family again, and of course my milestone Birthday is April is a huge goal, and my one year fit-a-versary will be in August/ Sept since that is when I really started turning a corner and getting serious about my weight loss. My one year fit-a-versary is when I plan to be 100 pounds plus down!
The reason fall (and the last few months) has been such a turning point for me is because I have been letting go of the negative and embracing the positive and using each new day as a fresh start. I have been making my workouts a commitment to myself just like work or school it is a priority and I get it in whenever I can fit it in no matter if I don't feel like it. I have taken on the 'no excuses' approach! Also, I have stopped obsessing over the scale. I weigh in once a week and have been participating in an online challenge weight loss group that has been so helpful for me. It has given me the structure and the support that I really needed. I joined the group in August and so far it has really helped me to see some great results. I still have so far to go but I am setting my goal for 10 pounds at a time with my larger goals always in mind.
I am a little sleepy this evening so I am going to go ahead and cut this short. At least it was a little update for you guys on what has been happening and where my journey is at this time. I have much more to that I could write about but I will save that for another time!
