I love the online community. It feels like just as my motivation starts to wane, I find something that pulls me right back in. Sometimes it's a comment on my blog, sometimes it's a post someone else writes, and today it was from DailyMile, where someone posted this:

I'm slow. I'm a slow runner. I'm a slow weight-loser. But compared to where I was before (when I was doing nothing), I'm practically sprinting my way to my goals. Which leads me to this week's weigh in...
Weight Loss This Week: -4.0
Total Loss: -10.2
Now remember, I didn't weigh-in last week so that's actually my loss for two weeks. Pretty darn good though right?! I'mvery extremely like a pig in poop happy to see the numbers move so much.
With this weigh-in I've also lost more than 5% of my body weight, and that's one of my goals! Another one checked off my list...

Congrats! That's fantastic! I've been back on track this week after a couple of weeks of being sort of "off" the wagon. I haven't had a weigh in yet though, I'm too chicken! Afraid I'll weigh and discover that two weeks of not tracking my food has undone the previous 8 weeks of work. Then I'll be totally despondent and eat a carton of ice cream. So, I'm staying off the scale for now. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! And you are way ahead of me on miles logged (I'm trying to run the distance of The United States). I've totally been slacking lately. :(
ReplyDeleteAre you doing April's BBC?
The distance of the US? That's pretty cool! Don't give up! I think that's an awesome goal to shoot for.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'll be doing April's BBC yet. I get my books from the library and there's a wait for this one :( Hopefully I'll get it in time!
Look at you go! That's awesome--keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo congrats!
