Week 28 - Weigh In

Last fortnight - 71.5kgs
This week - 69.7
Loss for fortnight - 1.8kgs

Wow - Haven't I been quite the slack blogger!!! I've been feeling pretty "MEH" about things for the last couple of weeks/months, and it was really getting me down. I felt like I was focusing on what i was eating and how much i was exercising, and forgetting about the things that really matter, like family. It seems to have taken me forever to lose the last 3 kilo's and it was driving me batty. My motivation was slipping, i was beginning to think why bother putting all this work in if it's not getting me anywhere. No matter what I did, I just couldn't break past that 70kg mark.

WELL, on Saturday, I DID IT. 69.9 flashed up on the scales. Normally weekends are pretty much a write off for me weight wise. I generally go up, and retain lots. For the first time in forever, this week I didn't. My weight this morning was yet again down, at 69.7kgs. I'm pretty thrilled with that, and now i'm on to my next goal of reaching 25kgs lost. That means getting to a weight of 65.5.

If you had have said 7 months ago that I would EVER be in the 60's again, I would have laughed at you. I was sure that I could never be anything but fat, I'd been that way for so long. But, it CAN change, and it HAS changed. Do I still see myself as being fat, yes., but I am getting closer and closer to that happy place. My belly is still big, and i guess after 4 babies, it's bound to be flabby, but that is something i can work on. The tops of my arms and legs are still flabby, but I'm still considered to be overweight. I think due to how much they have been stretched they will still be somewhat flabby, but I can now see some muscle definition in my legs, and that's something i haven't seen in a long time.

I've gone from a size 22+ down to a 12 in most things. I should be very proud of what i have achieved, and not dwell on what i haven't yet. It will all come in time!
