School has started and whoa... It has already been crazy. Days that I student teach (Tuesdays and Thursdays) I have breakfast, snack, lunch and my afternoon snack on the go. I leave at 7am and don't get home until 5pm. SO a lot of planning happens. I pack at least 2 fruits, stuff like trail mix, multi grain goldfish, a peanut butter and low sugar jelly sand which on wholewheat and at least half a days worth of water, so 2 to 3 bottles. It takes time and effort to figure out what I need and want. However, it is crucial to my journey. If I didn't pack my food I would panic. I would end up probably skipping meals, being so hungry and making bad choices. I would hate to put myself in that situation. You shouldn't either! It takes a lot of effort to be healthy and busy at the same time.
So this week I lost a pound. I'm SO happy about it. It is a great step in the right direction. Considering how busy this week was, I feel like that 1 pound loss is like 10 pounds. Like I always say, even the littlest loss should be celebrated.
One thing I have NEVER revealed on my blog is my actual weight. Kind of strange I know. However, I have been completely ashamed of that number. I feel like moving forward I need to start accepting where I was, and be happy with where I am now, I have worked so hard. So here it goes... I started this journey weighing 294.4 pounds. As of this morning, I weigh 182.4 pounds. My heart is pounding as I even type the numbers out on here. I know it's time though to just get it out in the open. I hope me revealing my weight inspires my readers just a little more. Moving forward, my "ultimate goal" is between 150-155 pounds. That is where I feel I will be most comfortable and be able to maintain my healthy lifestyle best. Like I have said before my journey isn't about getting skinny, it is about being healthy and happy inside.
Until next week :)
