I Did It! I Did It! Yay! I Did It!

Several months ago, I made a confession that I needed to lose some weight.   Well, {drum roll, please} as of last Monday’s weigh in at Weight Watchers, I have lost 33.6 pounds.   I met my goal and then some!   I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of myself.

On my way to the 33.6 pound loss, I’ve had a few exciting events:

I hit my 10%   WW goal.

I am amazed at how differently I feel with those pounds gone.

My ankles don’t hurt.   My knees don’t hurt.   My hips don’t hurt.

I had to go buy new jeans several weeks ago because the old ones were nearly falling off.

Last summer,   I bought several pairs of capri pants.   One pair didn’t fit then – I tucked them away in my closet because I didn’t want to face the fact that I couldn’t wear them.   I pulled them out again last weekend and they fit like a dream.

One of my comfy, warm-weather button up shirts that was on the snug side last October – I’m nearly swimming in it now.

I’ve ridden my bike again!   Sweet Hubby bought me a great bike a couple of years ago, but I just couldn’t do it.   I mean I could ride it, but I thought was DYING every time that I did.   I’ve been on my bike twice this week and I enjoyed it!   I’m still huffing and puffing on even the slightest incline, so I still have a ways to go, but I feel like I can do it now.

Needless to say, I am so happy about this I could bust.   And while I’d love to rest on my laurels, I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be.   So, here I am issuing the next challenge:   Another 30 pounds.

I’m going to swipe the extra 3.6 pounds I lost from the first 30 pound challenge, so that I can have a little bit of a head start on the next 30 pound challenge.   Now only 26.4 to go!   Yay, me!
