Getting closer!

So last week I lost another 2.4 pounds for a total of 58.8 pounds! I am also very close to being under 200 pounds! (I have been over 200 pounds for a loooong time!) I have been at this for a while, which is why the mantra "Persistence NOT perfection will get you to your goal" is so powerful to me. I have been on WW since January 2011. So it has been 19 months. I could have lost it so much quicker, but I am a big believer in enjoying the journey there.

I did feel this is odd, since I have not been tracking on the weekends. But if it is working I need to keep going with it! I am also more active than ever, watching 2 hours of TV is now boring to me. I don't really like to sit still.
I am enjoying this though- I can feel parts of my body I have never felt before. I am always trying new things, it is a whole new life.

No longer a spectator in life- I am living the life I always wanted to live! I am being the Sophia I always wanted to be!

More Unexpected Success!

Went down another 2.2 pounds this week! Hooray! Why was it unexpected? Well it is that time of the month for me, as all ladies know you usually go up at least a pound.  Maybe I really lost more? Who knows? Either way I will take it and my 5 pound gain from my birthday is now a wash. Never gonna gain like that again only because it take a good month to get rid of the weight.
Overall I am proud of myself from this past week because my hormones were telling me to eat anything that was not nailed down and even though it sucked---I tracked it ALL! I used a lot more of my fun 49 points during the week than I usually do, but I made it work. I also got a lot of yard work in, so I was being productive and active at the same time! So hooray another 2 pounds closer to my goal weight...whatever that is, LOL. I am not at all close enough to fathom that so I will instead look forward to being UNDER 200 pounds! That is amazing to me!

Challenge Yourself: Marcum Workplace Challenge 5k

Can I make it to the end?

HELL YES!!

 

Who the hell woulda thought I would EVER be here! I did my first 5k and I NEVER thought I would do that, but to do another 5k at over 40 pounds less than the last one, wow, just wow. If you would have asked me if I would have ever done a 5k I would not just say no, but HELL NO. This was so special, even more so than the first.  This one was completely self motivated.

I heard about it thought work and was like...I'll think about it.  Secretly wanting to talk a friend into doing it with me, but I knew in my heart I wanted to be the person that did the 5k. I want to admire who I am. If someone told me they were doing it, I would be like WOW, I would love to be like that, but I can't. Well it turns out I CAN BE THAT PERSON. I trained only the week before. Taking a few longer jog/walks 1.5-2.5 miles. Even did some trail running---and I enjoyed it! I had a goal and I went for it!

Was is scary- yes HELL yes! But these quotes inspired me!!

“Do one thing everyday that scares you.” Elenor Roosevelt

"Life Begins Outside at the End of Your Comfort Zone"Neale Donald Walsch

BE YOUR OWN ROLE MODEL!

It was exciting and amazing and I felt so accomplished.  Not to mention this 5k also came with the benefit of networking, getting to know so many others that work on Long Island. It was really a no brainer---sometimes you gotta just say yes! Don't let fear make your decisions, let your heart!
