148.6!
It took me a week to get back down to my weight before Pittsburgh [149.8] but today I surpassed it! This is the lowest I've weighed since I've started college, I feel absolutely fantastic. Especially since I've been busting my butt ever since I've returned; My daily [well 5-6 days of the week] routine is yoga in the morning followed immediately by the gym and 30 minutes of cardio. It feels really good to be working out this much and I get to treat myself to things that I was previously afraid to consume when I wasn't working out nearly as much. Yesterday I had a chocolate elvis from planet smoothie [frozen probiotic yogurt, banana, chocolate, and peanut butter!].
While this is a great achievement, I can't slack off now. My goal is to stay between 125-130, so I still have some pounds to shed, especially before vacation. The photo below is a picture of my sister and I on vacation in 2008, I weighed 128 pounds then and felt amazing. I know that I won't have that kind of bikini body this year but hopefully next year [that's my second goal]. Either way, I like to look at this picture for motivation and relief when I'm feeling frustrated, it reminds me that I can get to goal because I did it before. Do you girls have anything that helps motivate you in moments of weakness?

I really wish I had a time in my life where I was actually thin. I have no idea what it's like, what I'll look like, etc. But I'm excited to find out!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching a low weight and I'm sure you'll keep chippin' away at it before your vacation! (:
Congrats! I'm at the point right now where I'm trying to get back down to my usual weight. It's slowly going down, but I'm pretty by the end of the week I will be back down and "hopefully" feeling great! But man, that's some intense workouts. great job!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing that seems to motivate me is realizing that if I continue on eating and whatnot, that I can gain weight and be as heavy as I use to be.. Also, old photos definitely keeps me focused! :)
