Week 16 update

I've gotten over the first major hurdle of my weight loss journey. It's still hard to put my finger on what has been going on, but all I know is that the past few weeks have been a challenge. Today's WI gave me encouragement and proof that I can do this evne in difficult situations. Working the plan away from home isn't too easy, I've discovered. But, I did it! I have one more trip in August and I'll face it, plan as much as I can and do my best.

I've lost over 40 lbs in 16 weeks. Less than 10 to showing 50 lbs to the door and less than 20 lbs to my next 10%. It's still a long road ahead, but inch by inch, mile by mile, I'm traveling to my destination--wherever the journey may lead!

Trying strength training this week to spice up my activity choices. 3x a week for that and a few days week of cardio (walking, etc.). I'm no athlete but at least I'm getting up off my fat ass and making an attempt. I couldn't/wouldn't do that even a few months ago.

Oh yeah, I'll be sooooo "buuuuuffff" LOL Riiiight.

More later!

Excellent job on your WI today, hon! You faced down one of the biggest challenges on any weightloss journey, and you came out on top! I think you should definitely count that as a TREMENDOUS NSV and reward yourself with some pampering at the spa. Take a Sat. morning or afternoon for yourself and get a massage, a pedicure, a facial, etc., and really treat yourself to some pampering! After all you have been thru this past 2 weeks, you deserve to celebrate the fact that you are still on the right track, still making healthy choices, and stronger than ever! I know I say this to you all of the time, but I honestly can't tell you enough... You are such a terrific inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing your weightloss journey with others so we can benefit from your personal victories as well! :) You're the best!!!! (((((HUGS)))))
