What an excellent week! I met challenges in new and exciting ways. From refusing a dish with too much sodium to planning for a special meal, I see mind-set changes taking affect. The curve of my waist motivates me to continue. The try-on session last weekend could not have motivated me more! Trying on previous sizes which turned out too big rocked. While I have not tracked sizes in quite a while, I established a base line for the future. I liked the way some outfits looked on my newly emerging body.
I notice that my body craves movement. My minimum 30 minute sessions at a rate of about 3.5 miles per hour have increased my lung capacity and strength. I am moving the target to 45 minute sessions over the next week. I also notice that I am taking longer jogging moments. The rate is still slower than I would like, but that will increase as I become used to the faster pace.
The most exciting tidbit is that the photo shoot is Tuesday! The new pictures will be very interesting to compare with my initial weight loss picture and those from months ago. I see my inner beauty peeking out again. Weight loss can equal confidence gain...sweet!

Hey congratulations on all the hard work! It is not easy, and it's so encouraging to see you going strong! :) My Mom and I went to Carino's recently, and as much as I LOVE bread pudding--it's my favourite dessert ever...I did not want the 2,000 calories that come with it. Kind of lame, but b/c I'm training for a marathon, every pound I weigh, I run with me, so I really do watch what I eat. I've rediscovered how much I love green vegetables! Last summer, I started to change my diet, and it's been SO good! :) I'm happy for you! Way to go!
