Two Months

I am so excited to say that I am two months into my weight loss life change and I feel awesome! I feel great and I know that I am well on my way to my life change. I want to post some things about this past month and I also want to add some new goals since I accomplished every one but one last month.

Today: February 15
Weight lost since December 15: 24lbs
Weight loss from January 15-February 15: 11.8lbs

Feelings: I honestly cannot tell you how wonderful it feels that I have lost 24 pounds. Absolutely amazing! I still feel amazing and don't have the mood swings that I used to feel. I also am more determined than ever to continue to eat healthier and move every day. I feel stronger than I have in a long time! I also look forward to exercise each day because it clears my head and helps me regain focus.

When I was walking tonight on my treadmill, I started to add weights to my cardio so I could work on strength training and cardio at the same time. When I looked over at my weight options, I noticed I had 2 10lb weights and 2 2lb weights. I started thinking that they totaled 24lbs together and that is how much I have lost in 2 months. I tried to lift them all while walking and I couldn't hardly hold them all. This was a great visual for me to realize that I was carrying all of that extra weight on my body every day. I am looking forward to adding another 10lb weight next month to my weight lost! :)
