It's official! When I stepped on the scale this morning, I had breached the 10 lbs lost milestone. And I had cheesecake for dessert yesterday. Haha And I was feeling really tired yesterday afternoon and day-dreamed about NOT going to the gym after work. I went anyway. That makes is extra-special sweet.
Ten pounds gone!
This morning I decided to pull out a pair of jeans I haven’t worn for about 6 months and wear them to work. They fit just fine. Happy me! :)
It took way longer to lose this first 10 lbs than I imagined. When I started (Nov 30th), I figured I could drop the first 10 in a month. It’s been 7 ½ weeks. My metabolism must have been in the gutter. But, I continued regardless of the slow progress… progress is still progress, however slow. Here’s the 7 weeks of ups and downs.
I’m not done, not by far. I would like to drop another 20 for sure, but.. according to Google, I should be 107-140 lbs at 5’3”, which means I should drop more than that! Grrr.
I personally would be happy at 150 lbs. But, I will simply settle where my body naturally settles with my good eating and exercise habits. Who knows where that will be...
So that’s it! I’m due a reward of some kind. I’m thinking a new workout outfit. But… I’ll probably just get one piece. So far I have been laundering my workout outfit every night after I go to the gym, so I can have it available for the next day. Which.. I did not accomplish last night, so no gym tonight. I’m thinking I will buy a sports bra or a tank top. Not sure which. I have a couple pairs of sweatpants to alternate between, so no need for that. I think I'm going for the tank top. I will reward myself the sports bra after the next 10 lbs. :)
