Total weight loss so far: 95.5lbs
Once again...I suck at updating my blog...but I figure ya'll can just enjoy my random surprise posts. You don't want to read about my day to day activities...I'm really not that exciting.
Things are nuts right now but its almost all positive! I was offered a 6th grade teaching position and I couldn't be more excited (or unbelievably nervous) about it! I have always wanted to teach and I am finally getting the opportunity! I am currently on a 6 week break and then I start my new job full time on July 29th. I was working 3 jobs for awhile and then 2...so its nice to have some time off. I have a lot of preparing to do for the school year and I am trying really hard to get my head on straight about a few things.
I am both thrilled with my weight loss and disappointed that I haven't made it further in the over two years that I've been at this. I am grateful that I have never given up. I am excited that I am so close to having a one at the beginning of my weight instead of a two. I am happy to say that I can no longer wear "plus size" shirts and I can purchase pants at most regular retailers. I started my journey wearing a size 26 jean...I am currently sitting between a size 14 and 16. I am proud that I am doing this in a way that I can live with forever. This is not temporary. This has not been a quick fix.
That being said...I so desperately want to be under 200lbs it almost hurts. I still struggle with making the best choices (though it does get easier as time goes on). I still have not managed to make the gym and exercise a habit. I think the exercise is what angers me the most. I still make excuses. I still find "better" things to do. I am working on it but what I wouldn't give for it to be easy.
But I guess none of this has been easy. There have been happy days, miserable days, hard days, and days that I just gave up. But I know that I won't stop.
My goal for my break (other than prepping for my classroom and trying not to panic about it) is to really focus on healthy choices (not just staying within my points) and really focusing on getting my exercise in check. I know that I can hit my 100lb goal by the time I go back to work if I really push myself!
