18.3 Lost

Last night was my second weigh in.
 
Blah.
 
I was so excited for this one. I had completed two solid weeks nearly error free and had pushed my body so hard. I got through Halloween candy free and rewarded myself with healthy options. I met with my trainer, walked and walk and walked, took all of my supplements religiously - I played my cards right.
 
I got on the scale.
 
And only lost only 5.1 pounds.
 
WTF?!?!
 
Disappointment crept over my body and I teared up. I obviously knew I would not be loosing the 13.2 I lost two weeks earlier but I had worked so hard that I was assuming I would have a solid 10 pound loss.
 
So here I am, day 25 and my mind is still in the right place. I have to many reasons to keep going that are motivating me and encouraging me to stay on track. Loosing 18.3 pounds in 28 days is an accomplishment in itself and I need to remember that.
 
Here is to a new day, a fresh start, two weeks until my next weigh in. I CAN and I WILL do this. I appreciate all of the love, support, motivation and questions that my readers have had. You all can do it too. Weight loss is hard but it is achievable.

  7. You are doing great. 18+ lbs in 25 days is amazing. Sometimes the body plateaus where it feels your weight isn't dropping as fast as it was previously. This is normal and as long as you keep plugging away like you sound you are you will achieve your goal. Looking forward to hearing your journey. Thank you for linking up to the Empowered Living blog hop. You are what the hop is all about. People inspiring themselves and those around them. GOOOOOO you!

  9. I have never lost that much weight in two weeks. You rocked it! I know you were hoping for a bigger number but you still did way better than gaining. Esther Norine Designs

  13. Congratulations! It is "discouraging" to not see the numbers drop as expected sometimes, but you have your mind right and just know that all good things take time! I am happy to see that you are so motivated - definitely an inspiration to many! I am a new follower :)

  14. DOn't be discouraged, it's only normal that the weight loss slows down unless you "shock" your body. Just keep at it and don't give up!
