Rock On!

I stepped on the scale this morning and I lost another pound! I'm so excited and so proud of myself. Weighing in at 178 today I can honestly say that I never stepped on a scale weighing that little. I think I was about 180-something in seventh grade and 2 inches shorter and then again, it could've been more.

I feel great knowing that I'm losing the weight the right way by incorporating good & healthy habits. I'm so close to my 1st goal, it's scary. I've become such a perfectionist that I probably won't want to stop there, I want & need to see 150 lbs on that damn scale.

WEIGHT LOST IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
No, it is NOT! Eat less, move more.

Workout plans for the week? The usual stairmaster, treadmill, spin bike, aerobics & step class and weight training of course. I don't know how much more I'll be able to up the intensity but ...

Oh, and I'm leaving for LA in 12 days!

Goodbye 180s ...

ShrinkingDiva is back and needs to blog some more.

What's new? I'm no longer in the 180s. Who would've thought? Certainly not me. Yup, I weighed in today despite the fact that I'm probably +2 lbs because I got my period. Anyhow, I'm still very satisfied with the result, 179 lbs. I also weighed in on another scale and the result was the same, 179 lbs. Amazing!

That's a huge milestone for me. I don't recall ever ever weighing in under 180 lbs. At 26 years old, it's the first time that I see something below 180 which means that I'm getting closer to goal. Yay!

This whole diet & exercise thing really works after all. After being overweight my whole life, I thought I was destined to be fat. I really believed that I was destined to be overweight for the rest of my life. Yo-yo diets, South Beach, restricting my calorie intake, eating a meal per day ... been there, done that.

I'm overwhelmed by all the attention I've been getting because I've lost the weight & because society's perception of me has changed. I might be stupid for saying this but I feel like a celebrity. The people at the gym know me, strangers know me, guys are checking me out for the first time in my life. So many changes ...

I'm 19 lbs short from my goal weight and 29 lbs short from my ultimate goal weight. What's the plan? I'ma keep on doing what I've been doing.
