Thank you to whoever nominated me for the Blogger's Choice Awards! I really appreciate that. If you'd like to vote for me, you can do so by clicking here.
Well, I stepped on the scale this morning and was truly shocked. This is not a healthy way to lose weight! I haven't been able to keep much down and so I've been eating very little. As a result, I lost 5.8lbs this week- definitely not a good thing. I fully expect to gain some back next week once I start eating normally again, since I've probably messed up my metabolism.
I'm still not feeling well, but better than I was. I'm very tired and having a little one to chase around doesn't help. At least he is not sick anymore!
But I do have some things I wanted to mention- good weight loss or not. If you've been with me since the beginning, then you know that my ticker was originally set for a 98lb goal. I've not only accomplished that but I've blown right by it. That's amazing to me. I remember when I originally set that goal I hoped, but never actually believed I'd be able to achieve it. I know I set it at a higher weight than I wanted to be because I didn't think I'd even be able to get there (here!), let alone to my goal weight. And now, here I am. I did it. I did reach my first goal!
Of course, I'm glad that I did move my goal weight further out, because I'd still like to lose some more. As good as I'm feeling about myself (I am now smaller than the average Canadian woman!), I still want to get to a healthy BMI and then just plain look as good as I can. And that's going to come with more exercise and continuing to follow a healthy lifestyle plan.
I'm also finally over 100lbs lost with Nutrisystem! I can't wait to get my new Nutribear to celebrate! Now there will be quite a gap until I receive my next one, because it won't come until 125lbs which is my goal- so I will receive my goal bear at the same time.
I really like the person I've become. I remember more than a year ago, I didn't really like the person who looked back at me in the mirror. She was shy and awkward, uncomfortable with herself and yet unable to make a change. I'll never be that person again. Now I know that I'm in control of my own life, and I can make it anything I want it to be.
