prosodicIt's the small victories in life...
Those of you who have been on my FL for ages know that I started a weight loss regimen back in January. Well, I haven't been very strict about it for the past few months...my weight has been hovering somewhere between 1.5 to 4 pounds above my goal weight for some time. And I actually accepted that, because I was pretty happy with how I looked. I look and feel much healthier, which is the most important thing.
However, I stepped on the scale this morning...
...half a pound BELOW my goal weight! I actually stepped on the scale twice, because I couldn't believe it.
I haven't really been paying much attention to my diet lately either, although I've still been exercising regularly.
I think a lot of this has to do with me being a nervous ball of energy, on account of the interesting changes going on in our lives. I've been jittery...fidgety...just overall tense.
I also haven't had much of an appetite, so I've been eating very small meals most days this past week. My normal appetite seems to have returned this morning.
So...it took a little over 9 months, but I'm there now. I don't think it ever took anyone so long to lose 26 pounds (excuse me, 26.5), but I did it! Finally!
Now I'm just going to have to work hard to keep it off.
