I can't believe it's been almost just over 2 months since I started this journey. It's been 9 weeks and 2 days.
I started this journey at a whopping 280lbs. I am now at 248lbs. I realized the other day I was unintentionally lying to people...and myself! I totally did the math wrong. When I had only lost 26lbs I thought I had lost 36.... Well in reality I've just passed that 30lb mark. I felt so bad that I had miscalculated, and kind of discouraged. But somehow, thinking I had lost more, was so motivating at first!

I saw this chart. Can't wait to get to the 12 week mark.


I have a small confession to make... I literally check a few times a day on this Ideal Protein Group on Facebook to see other people's results. I'm not caught up in being like them, but I'm needing the support and reminder that this is actually working. I don't look at myself in the mirror often, and when I do I usually run by it quickly.

My struggle hasn't been with the temptation to cheat and eat foods I am not allowed, but with the inside emotional stuff that's coming out. I think a lot about other things that I need to do, like the laundry, finances, vacuuming, fileing paper work, writing reports, calling people back and the endless amount of emails that seem to inundate my life. Sometimes I get paralyzed by the "To-Do" list and how I feel like I'm not keeping up. Maybe it's because I'm focusing so much on what I put into my body that I'm not getting as much done or maybe it's just me putting too many high expectations on myself.

I have to remind myself to take a step back, savour the moment, don't waste a day. Find the good in people and be grateful.
