Today is my 30th birthday and I’ve had a goal of being below 160 for my bday since I started (really) losing weight in June - and I did it!!!! Stepped on the scale this morning and am 159.2 - down 25 lbs from June. I’m also getting married in July and want to be 145-150 (but need to know what size I’ll be in order to plan my dress) so my birthday was a big milestone for me to be on track for that as well.
I’m just excited and wanted to share. 25lbs over 7 months isn’t that much, but I have been slow and steady and consistent. Eating real food (no diet food), focusing on low carb and low low sugar (but ok with occasional brown rice, quinoa, or even a bit of white bread), and letting myself have two bites of a dessert or treat I wanted.
I started weekly therapy in August and I really think that was the secret ingredient. My goal was to feel happy and healthy, and the two are so interconnected!! I also decided that for January 2019 I would cut out alcohol and commit to daily yoga (just 20 mins a day with YouTube yoga videos) to help me push through to my 150-something goal. No drinking was definitely healthy (the calories you save!) but I’m so excited to have a nice wine with dinner tonight! The biggest change has been the yoga though - I’m going to try to continue the daily practice for a year!!l
Yay for physical and emotional health!!
