Great news! As of Monday I have lost a total of 18 pounds!! Also, I have begun exercising. Thankfully, I have found a friend to walk with. This makes it so much easier to get motivated. I enjoy having someone who I can talk her ear off while we are exercising. The trail we walk is approximately 3.5 miles. The first day we did it was Saturday. It took us a little over 1 hour. It was probably about 1 hr and 10 minutes or so. Today we did the same trail in exactly 1 hour! Hoorah! While I was waiting on her to get there I warmed up with a 1/2 mile lap. It felt great to be out in the beautiful weather.
I promised that at 15 pounds I would post pictures....well here they are. This is really hard for me to do. But, this is one small step in my long journey.
These pictures are from 8/11, 254.6 lbs
Here I am, as of yesterday, at 239 lbs.
You're doing great, Manda, keep up the good work! Glad you have found someone to walk with - keeps you accountable and provides company.
ReplyDeleteYay! You are doing great! I know (from personal experience) how hard it is to be patient with weight loss. When I start exercising and eating healthy, I expect the weight to fall off. Of course, that is NOT how it works - nor should it be. Thanks for posting the pictures! I know it was hard for you, but it is motivating to us!! Keep up the great work! And the blogging!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement!!! It is definitely hard but I am going to keep it going!
