Ohhhhh yeaaaaah! I weighed in Saturday to see I was down another 2.6lbs, surpassing the 15lbs lost mark (sixteen point ONE, to be exact... hehe). :) This was my mid-month weigh-in, so no measurements this time around.
Exercise feels... almost like a way of life (certainly part of my routine that I miss if I don't manage to get it done): I find myself trying to figure out ways to make time for it again, which is awesome - I always feel so much better overall when I'm active. I'm doing well with watching what I eat to the point that the weight and inches are still dropping, without feeling deprived - it's all very low key and low stress (which is a GOOD thing for The Little Ball O'Stress).
I've been looking forward to the cooler weather because that means being able to walk after work again (well, until DST and darkness that falls before 5pm... ). However, I've found myself almost sad at the thought of switching out the elliptical for walks, which is just silly because there's nothing saying I can't do both!
I'm feeling pretty damned good about life all around right now. :)
Woo! Congrats, friend!
ReplyDeleteI am going to start GOING BACK to the gym tomorrow. My pain level has been so high it's been no good to even try. I have been doing push-ups against the desk at work though.
Woop Woop! Big congrats!!
ReplyDeleteWho rocks? You rock!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great attitude, I knew it was bound to pay off. Just think how far you've come! It does feel good to be active and sometimes going for the walk is easier than making excuses and dealing with the lingering guilt! Keep up the good work! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome weigh in! You're so enthusiastic about the exercise too, it's great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. :D I'm glad you liked my post. I completely relate to the "not stress" way of losing weight. It's taken me since mid-October to lose the 86 pounds but I do it at an average of about a pound to a pound and a half a week now and so I never feel frantic about eating or exercise. And variety is so good for exercise! It's a lot of fun finding different things to do, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! Congratulations!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 15lbs!
ReplyDeleteYes! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteYou are kicking ass and taking names. So proud of you :) xo
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Congrats! You are doing so well.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that you are feeling so good about everything too. :)
You deserve it.
Thanks for welcoming me to HYC! No hysterical pregnancy for you. :)
