I'm truly excited for this post. As some people may know, Thursday mornings are my weigh-in days at SFL. The last few weeks have been a bit lack luster with a half a pound here and another quarter of a pound there. Thankfully though as my Aunt predicted, I was in for a big loss this week.Being a nervous wreck after this long weekend of parties (birthday's and father's day) I stepped onto the scale, holding my breath, hoping and pleading with every fat cell in my body that I went down and not up. And there it was....written clear on the page, 2.5. I have now successfully in 2 and a half months, lost 30 pounds. *Insert all the firework action you want to be dazzled by here*.
Just to put that a little more into perspective, my nephew Ethan is only around 22.5 pounds of pure cuteness. Also, see this handful of sludge to the side here? That is suppose to be the equivalent to a pound of human fat. So, you could say I have lost enough weight to fill the hands of 15 people! Not that I know 15 that would want to do that for me *gag worthy thought*.
I know over the last week I've had my ups and downs and moments of wondering if saying no the cake on Saturday was worth it but I can stand here today and say that I'm glad I said no. I'm saying no to the sugary slim that could have been in my gut so that before long I can say yes to more opportunities headed my way (not to mention better fitting clothes).
I hope everyone has a great day and you make the choice to say no to bs and yes to the things you want most in life.
Peace, love and pogo sticks.
