I'm not done kicking and shedding a little ass, so this is just a bookmark in the story of working toward my happy weight. (In fact, inspired by Amy, I created a Tumblr site for all things devoted to my weight-loss and journey: food pictures, work-out notes, goals, yada yada. Feel free to come visit!)
But, anyway, today marks the end of one chapter, so let's recap!
Way back in 2009 (~185 lbs):
(Not pregnant, although you could have fooled the camera!)
Around the beginning of 2010 (178 lbs):
The beginning of the Biggest Blogging Loser (161.6 lbs):
Today (138.4 lbs):
In the last (nearly) 12 weeks, I've lost 23.2 pounds and 14.36% of my weight.
I haven't seen this weight since 2007, right before my wedding.
Since then I've become:
A wife
A mother
A runner
A cook....
....stronger, happier, smarter, tougher.
It's been such a motherfucking journey. I'm sorry for dropping such a word on you, I bet you weren't prepared for that, but it has.
It has.
I never thought I'd be here. I don't expect that to make much sense to some but I think a few of you might get it. When I look way back to where this all started, years and years ago, it was not a road that should have brought me here.
But, I'm here.
I'm kinda shocked.
I'm kinda scared.
I'm so proud.
