Another milestone!!

OFFICIALLY 60 POUNDS DOWN! Can I hear a hells yes?! It feels AMAZING! How much longer do I have to go? No idea and that is okay, because whatever my goal is I KNOW I will get there! It is a fact!

I will also mention this was the week of my wedding anniversary and I still managed to lose weight. I ate out 4 times over the weekend!!! Oh and I enjoyed every minute! It is possible to love every minute of your weight loss journey!

Yeah I STILL love food just as much- if not more than before. But my relationship with food is totally different. A mutual respect, an understanding. I love it, even lust after it. But I respect every bite and the experience of eating. I am in control, food is no longer a crutch. I stand on my own.

I thank you for sharing this journey with me and even more for the support and encouragement! It keeps me going every day, especially the touch ones!

Close to a new milestone!

Down another 2.2 pounds! YAYYY! Most importantly I am a total of 59.6 pound down! Only .4 away from 60! Wow just typing that number kind of blows my mind! Also once I lose 1.4 more pounds, I will FINALLY be under 200 pounds! FINALLY! Last time I remember being under 200 pounds I think I was in high school.

This week was good, got lots of activity in, didn't go too crazy with my indulgences. So I was expecting a loss, but since my lady friend is in town I thought I may stay the same or go up a little. This was more of a lose than I expected.

How much does this mean to me? This is one for the Sophia's History book. This is a pivotal moment in which I realize I will get to my goal weight (whatever that is)! This is the moment I am proud of me. I am actually proud of myself! I am becoming the best version of myself, the version I fantasized about. Who is she?

She is the Madonna of Sophia. She is empowered, confident (not cocky), talented, fearless, sexy and unstoppable! That is what I am becoming- taking small steps everyday to get there! It is happening- it is REALLY happening.

This is not about weight loss it is about transforming my life!!

If you are thinking you can't do it- sorry you are wrong....YOU CAN DO IT! The power is inside- under the voice inside that says you can't is your gut that says you can!

We all like a Before & After but what happens in between in more important!

This is a recap of the last two weeks! (Sorry for not keeping up) Last week I went up in weight pretty significantly *gulp* I am definitely NOT perfect. But I understand this is life and life happens! The reason I went up- A day of really great wine AND really great food for my friend's birthday. Did I go overboard- yes, HELLS yes, BUT this is my life and I am going to enjoy it. Unfortunately with that came a 3.2 pound gain. Yeah it sucks, yes it is a setback, however it is part of life and I lived it to the fullest. I was NOT happy when I learned this, however it happened and I just needed to accept it and move on.

I did just that and I am down 1.8 pounds this week! What did I do differently? Well there was way less food and drink debauchery.  It was confined to one meal with micro brew and pub food YUM! I also made sure to walk to the pub and at one point I even jogged! I also added in more activity during the week- weather walking or cleaning I moved more!

Long story short- I want everyone to see here my struggles AND my successes! 

We all like a before and after, but what happens in between is WAY more important!
