Monday Measurements & Milestones

Labels: , , ,
I want to thank you all for your love and support with going public about my journey to a healthier me. The feedback I am receiving is amazing and so encouraging.  You have given me the courage to continue to write about my health and fitness!  I can only hope that my journey might encourage and inspire others as well.


Mondays are weigh in days in my challenge group.  So, today is the big day!  I always feel a mix of excitement and anxiety as I wake up each Monday morning, ready to face the scale and tape measure.  This morning I was beaming as I walked into the living room to tell Josh my results.

3.4 pounds and 1.75 inches LOST!

And with that, I have hit a new milestone.  I am 2. 2 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight!  That means my current totals in 29 days are 9.8 pounds and 7 inches lost!  So exciting!!!  The goal I set for myself for this 60 day challenge was to lose 15 pounds.  I am moving closer and closer to achieving that goal.

The last several days I've been wearing clothes I haven't worn in several years, and I just feel more comfortable in my clothes in general.  It's like I have a whole new wardrobe.  I even have several things that are too big on me.  9.8 pounds isn't much, but it sure makes a difference in your clothing!

Here's a picture of me yesterday in a cardigan I probably haven't worn in 2 years:

I'm doing my best to eat clean, workout, plan ahead and stay motivated!  Thanks again for your encouragement.
