This week, although busy and a little stressful, has had a couple of fabulous "mini-victories" for me.
First, I lost 2.5 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss so far to 16.5 pounds!
Second, I was able to comfortably put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear in almost 2 years - and they were the next size smaller than what I had been wearing!!
Talk about a renewed sense of motivation! If it feels this good now to go down one pants size, I can't imagine what it's going to feel like when I go down to the next size, or the next. But I am determined to get there! I'm not going to give up!
I want to give a shout out (yeah, I know that sounds totally cheesy) to my fabulous husband. He's been on this journey with me and by my side step-by-step. So far, he lost 23 pounds!! He's been there for me to lean on when I get frustrated and give me encouragement when I need it. We're getting healthy together and it feels wonderful!
Tonight my family is going out to dinner to celebrate my Dad's birthday. I'm not going to go absolutely crazy but I'm not going to beat myself up either if I eat a few more calories tonight than the usual. It's a special occasion so I may treat myself just a little. :)
Baby steps. Slow and steady wins the race.
