2 More Weeks

Today is the end of the September Challenge. I ended up losing 5.8 lbs during the month of September - YAY!! That's just under 1.5 lbs a week. I'll take it for sure! The part though that I am scratching my head about is that in August I was completely gung-ho working out and staying within my calorie intake and I only lost like 3 lbs and then this month you can probably count the number of times I worked out on 1 hand and the amount of times I stayed within or even tracked my calories on 2 hands. I just don't get it! When I am good I don't lose and when I am not good I do... can someone explain this too me? Granted my not soo good is no where near as bad as it use to be so I know that helps, but still I am puzzled to how this all works. It also brings the question of i wonder if I was gung-ho this month would I have lost more? I shouldn't even think about the "what ifs" as they will only ever be that, however, it is an interesting thought at times.

Tomorrow starts a new month in my journey, another step along to me becoming the person I really want to become. I started this near the beginning of June with the thought that I didn't want my friends that knew me at my best shape, my best period to see me the way I was. I was embarrassed how much I let myself go and how unhealthy I had become. I have lost 13.5 lbs in the last 3.5 months. It's not a ton but it's something to be proud about that is for sure! Even more than that I have dropped from a size 12 (and a tight 12 at that, occasionally a 14) to a size 8 and they are already starting to be lose. That is what I am most proud of, the inches that has melted off of me, the choices that I now make and the new found energy that I am building! I have 2 more weeks - Yes I can't wait just 2 more weeks until I am back at the school I love so much with all my wonderful friends watching my Aggies BTHO of the Baylor Bears! WHOOP! haha! Anyway, I am looking forward to going back and being proud of what I have done. I know I am not done and still have a ways to go, but I am moving along the right path and will be proud to show my face and not embarrassed about the way look.

So 2 more weeks - what can I accomplish in 2 more weeks? Challenge anyone? Bets anyone?

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!!!
