A new low for me again

As of today I am very happy to report I have hit a number I have not seen in forever. I am down to 183! I cannot wait to go to my doctor and have her look at me and sense the new woman I am becoming. I am excercising at least 3 times a week. I had a very stressful week and am going to take the weekend off but come Monday I will come back fighting. I have learned we all need a break sometimes. When we have that break we cannot beat ourselves up. Its a journey not a race and all that matter is that we reach the destination. It should not matter how long it takes we will all get there eventually as long as we do not stop.

I can never get tired of these

I thought this would be fun. Here is my picture of 187.5 not a milestone picture but I love the little reminder that I am losing. So here I am 1 year 2 months later and even if my picture does not show it 1000 times happier then ever.

Love watching that scale move

I was upset because I had to have a tooth pulled out this week. All I wanted to eat was sandwiches and the carbs really affected my weight. On Tuesday I weighed myself and sure enough I was back up to 189.5 I was livid I wanted to cry. I decided to Zumba and did it two days in a row and sure enough thank goodness today I am down to 187.5! I am so happy as I really need to see that scale move. I feel so good about myself. I even hesitate I am becoming an inspiration. Who knows all I know is I am doing something right and that feels pretty dang good!

Amazing what exercise can do

Today I stand in front of you. 188.5! I am officially out of the 190's. It seems like just yesterday I was struggling with the 220's! I am very excited to go to my doctor and see her reaction come December. She is going to get to see a healthier and happier Susan. I am thrilled to do this.

Yesterday I did Zumba for 45 minutes. My shoulders were screaming at me. After I get home from volunteering at my sons class I will do biggest loser again. I am going to get this done.

Welcome back Bob

So lately I am not happy with my weight loss. I want to see bigger numbers. The only way I can make bigger numbers happen is to start back my exercise. My strap broke for EA active so I am going back to biggest losers. Damn Bob still has it. My legs are screaming and I got very sweaty but the awesome thing is I feel great. So welcome back Bob. Let's do this and help me achieve my goals!

Who am I?

As I sit here on my desktop today this question is popping into my head? Who am I? 9 months ago I was depressed, scared, and very overwhelmed with myself. Here I stand 9 months later. I am a much more confident woman. I am much more social. I am very happy in my relationship. For the first time in a very long time I am content with my life and that feels amazing.

Do not get me wrong. I am thrilled I weight 190. I never dreamed I would be this small again. I did not imagine it. Especially when it is still 2 months shy of my goal to be 200. I am sure that losing 53 lbs is helping me. I seem a bit positive, a bit more content and a heck lot more healthier.

So tell me the truth...do you really see a difference from my old picture and this one? Please excuse the mirror, I did this quickly in the morning.




Finally, I have everything I have wanted in life. I have a man who loves me, 2 incredible children, an safe community to live and a happier healthier me. I am not close to the end of my journey yet but here I am. I am surviving and doing this. I am an incredible inspiration and a very happy person.

50 lbs Loss Officially

So here I am as of today. 50 lbs loss. 50 lbs of fat gone never to return. I am going to hit my goal this year. I have to do it. 175 here I come. Can I lose 20 lbs in 3 months? Not sure but even if I hit 180 by then I will be happy! 20 percent body fat gone. I can do this.
