I am proud to announce that I have finally broken the 20 lb weight loss mark! My weigh in today was 202! That is 21 lbs lost in 2 1/2 months. Whoot whoot! However, I know for a fact that there is a lot more fat loss then the numbers on the scale are showing me. For instance, last week it appeared I gained a little more than a pound. However, the pants that I was finally able to fit into again were loose to the point that I can almost take them off without unbuttoning them. So I knew my progress was still on track.
In a few weeks, I will have my final 3 month measurements done. I am truly excited to see how far I have come in a matter of 3 months. But even before I see the numbers, I am so proud of where I am today. I have a new life, a new love of life, more energy and finally a desire to workout. I completed 4 WODs this week so far, and even after getting 2 stitches in my head today, I totally pitched a fit thinking I might not be able to do my workout tomorrow. Yup, full on flaring my arms, whining "whyyyyyy?", then pouting. Sometimes the inner child just breaks out without warning.
Days I am proudest are those where I can do prescribed weights, even if I finish last. When I get home and prepare for my shower, sometimes I hold up my shirt and think "awwww ya, look at that sweat!" I am not much of a sweater, so when my shirt is soaked I get all happy because I feel like I really busted it out. Sometimes even during my workout, I catch my reflection and admire my glistening arms and the muscles I can finally see at work as I lift, pull, press, etc. It has been a long time since I have seen any type of toning in my body, so I can't help but admire the progress. Haha!
I continue to love my workouts. Anytime anyone asks me about crossfit, I get super excited to tell them how much I love it and why. It just means so much to me. For the next two weeks, I have coworkers flying in for work. They have expressed their interest in working out with me so I will be sure to share their stories with you all!
Hitting the 20 lb bench mark and going strong,

PS. I am still planning on working out tomorrow. Mwahahaha!
