Another Milestone- 2 posts in a row!!

I AM FINALLY UNDER 200 pounds!! The 1.8 pounds I lost this week took me to exactly 199 pounds! I literally cannot remember last time I was under 200 pounds....maybe high school?

What does this mean to me? It means I am REALLY gonna get down to my goal weight (still not sure what that is). This also means I can literally do ANYTHING I set my mind to!

How did I do the last couple weeks? Well the week before last (after my last post) I ate out A LOT! Lost my way a bit. Ate too much carbs and not enough fruits and veggies. This week I ramped up the fruits and veggies and turned up the activity! So I guess that was enough to undo some of my ill behavior. HOORAY! Oh and I tracked-tracking is your best friend.

This is magic and at my WW meeting today I almost cried! I was tearing up. I cannot believe this, the moment is so surreal to me. I NEVER expected to get this far when I started! WOW!

This change has been from inside out and the weight is just a bit of what I lost. I also lost being obsessed with perfection, self-criticism and self-loathing. What I have gained from this experience is immeasurable and priceless. I earned this, I did this and I made it happen. Watch out work- I really am unstoppable!

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!
