We've come to the end of the Shrinking Days of Summer challenge, have you shrank as much as you'd hoped? I haven't but I'm very happy with my progress.
Starting weight: 133
Goal weight: 125
Current weight: 129.2
I did it ladies!!! I broke that 130 mark that I just kept hovering around!
4 pounds in 7 weeks isn't all that incredible, unless you factor in the fact that I'm down to my last 5-10 pounds.
I had decided that after this weigh-in, I would give myself a break. Not go back to my old eating habits, but take a week or so off of counting everything. I have a good enough idea in my head of portions, calories and such. I thought that I'd keep doing what I've been doing, only give myself a little slack on the accountability.
Now I'm motivated to keep going! Of course I'm not sure I'll be happy even if I do make it to my 125 goal, but it could take a while to get there so I'm not going to push it.
Honestly from the hips up, I can look at my body in the mirror and be happy. Now I need to just shift that downward to my thighs.
How'd you do this week? Hopefully you were able to finish this challenge strong. Unless you're team black, and you're the only thing standing between team maroon and last place! ;)
Thanks also, to everyone who gave me words of encouragement during my mini-breakdown yesterday. I addressed the problem and feel a million times better today about it.
WOW!! Congrats, Brooke! I know you're thrilled!!! When I hit 135, I'm going to be cheering from the rooftops, lol!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I'm glad today is a better day.
ReplyDeleteBrooke! I'm so excited that you broke through to the 120s!!!! WOOHOOOOO! And isn't it crazy how much motivation a shift in the scale can be?

ReplyDeleteAWESOME job Brooke! You're inspiring me to get off my butt and DO something about my extra 20...30 pounds! Well, that and the fact that I am going to be in a wedding in about a year and I wanna look hot :0)
