50.4 lbs. LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!
I finally reached my half way mark of 50 lbs. lost!!! I cannot tell you how proud I am of myself and how accomplished I feel. Saying I've lost 50 lbs. is so much sweeter than saying 49 lbs. lol As thrilled as I am about the loss I want to stay focused on the next 50 lbs. One day, one week, sometimes one moment at at time.
My goal is to lose a total of 100 lbs. by Dec. 31, 2010! I'm well on my way but I have alot of work ahead. The next 50 are going to be tougher than the first. The smaller you get the harder it is to drop weight. Plus my weight loss has slowed in the past 3 weeks.
I've added weight training to my exercise routine and I've noticed I'm much hungrier since doing that. I'm going to tighten up my nutrition over the next few months, eating much cleaner than I had and worrying less about points. I know my portion sizes very well now and that was the main function of Weight Watchers for me. The other side of WW is that it allowed me to indulge in a meal out and still lose weight. I'll continue on Weight Watchers but will be focusing more on the Clean Eating side of my plan. We'll see how that goes in the coming weeks.
I will be stepping up my workouts as well. Adding more days and a more regular cycle of weight training! I'm excited!! :)
Here's to better health!! Bring it on!!!!! :)

Hi Denise,
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I saw you on The Weight Loss Diaries moments ago, and then you spoke of your letter on your personal channel and I was truly inspired. My journey with weight loss has been difficult but over the course of the last 8 months I have been replacing bad nutritional habits with healthier eating. Exercise at age 45 has been more challenging than decades ago but I try to keep at it on a regular basis without burning out or enduring injuries. I have to say the idea of roller skating again scares me because I wasn’t that great of a skater in my teen years (lol) but just hearing your enthusiasm makes me want to try something other than the usual workout routine.
Anyway, AWESOME News! Your weekly videos are tremendous... thanks for taking the time to share.
