WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
Happy Drippy Tuesday! I'm counting down to HEALTHY!!!
Good Am All...
The day is off to a dreary start and most likely will continue throughout the day and continue to increasingly chill off. Not much to be thrilled about with that...
HOWEVER...
In the larger scheme of things....
I'm getting smaller!
Finally, my scale is moving a bit faster than it had in weeks & weeks.
I just checked the BMI calculator on the hospital's website and I only have to lose a mere 2 pounds more to make it to HEALTHY RANGE!
Then from there 10 pounds to goal!
TIME TO CELEBRATE!
of course, my scale - doctor's scale are two different readings.
Generally about 3 pounds difference. So... my plan is to be 5 pounds under goal AT home which will bring me 2 pounds under goal at Doc's.
(which also allows for clothing-- since that isn't optional at the Doctor's office)
I feel really good this am. Quite surprised about that. Yesterday I did my Curves circuit then when I came home I tackled a walk that I've been wanting to do.
The walk is only a little more than a HALF MILE...
BUT... it is a serious HILL.
From my house to the bottom of the hill took me 9 minutes.
Coming back up only took me 5 1/2 minutes.
SO AMAZED!!!
When I told hubby he said, " You never could have done THAT before... I don't think I could even do that..." woo hoo!
oh, and it was wet and windy....
can I call myself an athlete yet?
Getting ready for my 5K THIS SATURDAY..
Half-Marathon in OCTOBER...
WATCH OUT BALTIMORE!!!
HUGS TO EVERYONE... remember the struggle is WORTH IT!

Judy girl, you are amazing. I kept your post about how getting closer to goal is more difficult and about not journaling as much. You are so insightful and your contribution to our family here is invaluable. I am sooooooooo proud of you. You inspire me so much!
