I heard a pretty funny quote this week and I think this might be the answer to why we gain weight...I mean serious now, this could really be the key. ;) "We all need to laugh, laughter is the best medicine. If you don't laugh and hold it in, it will just make your hips spread." See I told you that I think that's been my problem, I need to laugh more. :) Well not really...I love to laugh and have a great time. But maybe someone should jump on this idea and see if this is what's been the problem for all these years. :)
I'm excited to be at week 3 as of tomorrow. Hard to believe how fast this has gone. Even though this week has been tough because I've been sick, I've still stepped on the scales every morning and watched the number either stay the same or get smaller. Someone asked me the other day why I was so happy about this process...(WHAT?) after I picked my mouth off the floor and stepped back for a second my response was simple...Why wouldn't I be? And I explained that this isn't a prison sentence...being over weight and feeling/looking miserable is a prison sentence. I'm paroling..I'm setting this part of my life free...forever! I'm learning who I really am, why I let myself get this way and why I'll never let myself get/be this way every again.
Leave the past in the past-it's there for a reason. Celebrate the present because no one is ever guaranteed the future! Enjoy today-enjoy your loved ones and take nothing...NOTHING for granted.
Weight loss: 0 (YEP and I'm glad about that...odd I know but that also means I didn't add any numbers to my weight)
Total lost: -21.2 pounds and -9.25 inches. I will take measurements again on Sunday.
I think 21 pounds in 21 days is quite the accomplishment!
