I hadn't weighed myself since the end of October (right before Halloween). I figured I'd give myself a break from the scale for the holidays, but I did not take a break from exercising and CICO tracking (albeit inconsistent tracking. Thanksgiving am I right?). Lately I have been pretty lazy about sticking to my calorie limit. I blame a combination of holiday parties and delicious homemade food. After scrolling through r/loseit this morning, I realized I needed to get back on the scale. Regardless of what the number said I knew it would be a kick in the pants for me to get back in the game full time. (Side note: despite being from 'murica I use kg to measure.)
End of October I weighed 55.7 kg. Today, 54.1!
I had to recheck it I was so flabbergasted by the unexpected loss. I'm sure many of you have experienced this unexpected joy before and know how great it feels. I was dancing on air when I opened up myfitnesspal. This was coupled with another triumph from earlier this week. I added 5lbs to my bench press on Wednesday!
I could not have done it without this subreddit, all of you continue to inspire me with your commitment to improving your lives. Thank you for your tips, confessions, and support for everyone out there who's trying. For once, I am ending the year with a feeling of anticipation instead of dreading the "new year, new me" wave come January 1st. I know I can do this because I've already started.
And yes, despite the number on the scale I am re-motivated to continue my journey of weight loss and healthy living. Hear me last 5lbs/2kg....I am coming for you.
