Last week I received a compliment from one of our clients at Create Balance. She said that I did not look like I had 40 lbs to loose. I really appreciated that comment, 'cause when I see myself in pictures I think I could stand to loose a whole lot more than that. But it is not about the numbers, what the scale says or the measurements Collette took to track my progress. For me it is about feeling better, being able to wear the styles and clothes I want and liking the way I look good in our family photos.
Currently I weigh 160 lbs and I am only 5'2". My ideal weight for my age, height and frame is between 108 and 136 lbs. So dropping 40 would bring right in the middle. I'm not weighing myself, I'm going by how my clothes are fitting and how I am feeling. I'm not interested in dropping that 40 lbs in record time. That's why I'm not following a strict diet or killing myself with strenuous exercise plan. Slow and stead wins the race, I am making this change part of my life style, which is setting me up for long term success.
Thanks again to all who are supporting me - especially to those who are reading my blog. Knowing you are out there checking in, is keeping me motivated!! <3
There is more to being healthy than eating well and exercising. My goals are to Nourish, Empower and Strengthen
