I've reached 172.5 lbs. Yep, it's taken me 8 months to lose 15.5 lbs.
YES! I've lost over 15 lbs!!! Some of my clothes fit me better now than when I bought them.
In order to reach the 150 goal, I have to lose 22 lbs in 8 weeks. This means 2-3 lbs per week. I know that if I stay on track, I'll be able to do it.
The past month has been tough.
The pilates sessions have been, as always, therapeutic and enjoyable. Virginia has continued to maintain our sessions challenging without being extremely painful. Our schedules have gotten in the way, but by next week I believe we'll be back to normal. The rain has decreased the days for running, but I did reached 8.8 miles last week. I still have about 1 month and 1/2 to the half marathon, so I've got tons of more running to do. Well, at least the physical discomforts have been manageable, meaning, I've stopped being a baby.
I have also added some tennis in the past weeks. My coach is out in Long Island, she's actually just a very close friend and a heck of a player. Tennis has been exciting, focusing on each move and my progress has encouraged me in other areas of my life too.
I have been paying weekly visits to a therapist. I'm still very new at this (4 sessions into it), but so far it's been challenging to understand the "why"s of me.
Our last Nutritionist session was this past Saturday. Dr. Karen has provided a few tips and recommended a few products to help me get to my goal. The photo above was taken by her, the weight on it is 125lbs, which is what I hope to be someday. She so confident I'll get there, that actually puts me at ease.
Listing all of this here, makes me realize there's a lot of "activities" going on, but it's hard to describe what's going on in my head.
I want to keep moving forward and want to reach a point where I am proud of who I am in all aspects of my life. I want to be physically healthy, and mentally focused and strong. Ultimately, I want to be happy (... and will always continue to be cheesy, I'm sure).
