I have a long ways to go... but with every pound that comes off it is getting easier and easier. I am having less cravings for unhealthy food... and thinking about my future so differently. I am moving more... exercise is a whole different story now than it was 30 lbs ago.... I can do so much more so much easier.. one there is less weight to move around. Two I am seeing things happen.. which makes it much easier and is great motivation to keep things happening!
We have weekend hiking trips planned this spring.. hiking to ghost towns.. and over mountain ranges... sleeping in the woods and playing in the creeks. I am thinking about all the beautiful photos we can take of flowers and animals and even bugs. The time we will get to spend just being together out in nature watching the sun set and sleeping under the stars. I am so excited for the doors that loosing this weight is opening!
FABULOUS!!! I recall how happy and proud I was when I lost 50lbs! You deserve Huge Kudos!

Thank you.. 50 lbs is wonderful...Kudos to you too :) It is crazy how fast and easy the weight goes on and how hard it is to get it off... but every pound off sure feels a lot better than every pound on :)
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you Michelle. I smoke so I know how hard it is to break old habits. Keep strong and I am behind you 100%.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I need to get off (my rather large) behind and get moving as well....I need to find a gym with childcare. Congrats to you Michelle!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I smoked for many years... quit that in 2005... having been there.. I know you get it! Thanks for the support.
ReplyDeleteHeather, thank you.. we are doing the hcg liquid diet and are loving it... it is so helping to open our eyes to our bad habits and giving us tools to change them and get some good habits :) Totally changing our lives.
