Jeez...you know you neglect your blog when you keep forgetting how to post a new one!
Hey, Ya'll
It has been two months since my last post...I am down 34.1 LBS and counting! I am still looking to reaching that 50 lb mark so I can get rid of all this hair!
My semester is finally over and I am anxiously waiting to see if I got straight As like I am anticipating (pretty sure the last time that happened was 3rd grade!). My plan is to do lot's of fun stuff over the next month and go to the gym a lot too! I have used my goggles, swimsuit, and swim cap a couple times since my last post, I have tried spin class, and kick boxing twice too! I definitely feel the difference when i work out. This week I lost 1.4 lbs and I am pretty sure that it is because I did the ropes course, went to kick boxing, and did a crazy work out with my mom, Katie and my friend Cat. That is very exciting to me because with the stress of finals week you can all safely assume I did not eat my best :) but a loss is a loss and I am very proud of myself! I have had my second adjustment since my last post and I am feeling much more restriction! I am having to chew my food and also eat less as well. Although I am four months in I feel like it is just the beginning! I am finally seeing what the rest of my life with Sasha (she has a name now!) is going to be like!
This week I accomplished something that I thought would be so simple, but once harnessed in realized I was very wrong. Jeff and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary this past weekend and I took him to Louisville Mega Caverns where we did the Mega Quest Ropes course. I expected him to be the scaredy cat and for me to fly through but it was the total opposite. He did so amazing, made it look so easy, and had so much fun! I was shaking in my shoes, ready to throw up, and ready to cry. Jeff cheered me on and I finished the course with my head stuck in a cargo net...the most important thing is that I finished. Once on the ground Jeff wanted to do the zip line again and as I waited for him to go again I began to think...4 months ago, I would have exceeded the weight limit and not been allowed to complete this course. I had worked so hard to lose weight and here I was rewarding myself in a way that I didn't intend to. I got very emotional. I did those obstacles (a hell of a workout) and had fun while doing it. Jeff had so much fun and deemed it his favorite memory that he has shared with me in the last 4 years. We now have pledged to lose enough weight to do the Zip Line tour. (SHhh don't tell him but I'm only 6 lbs away!) That makes me so happy because even when I booked this trip I was way over the zip line limit (I am actually under the limit but their stupid scales adds 10 lbs to me) So now I have another short term goal and an exciting reward already in store!
I am so thankful to all of you that read these! It is helpful to get to share my journey with each of you and express myself as well. I also have a way to go back and see my mindset through each stage thus far! I hope you enjoy today's blog. Thanks for the support!
If anyone has suggestions on what I can write about let me know and I'll see about getting it down over my break!
Merry Christmas!
