My Update

I am only 6lbs away from my goal at this point.  I am not sure how much I have lost since my last post but I have lost a total of 19 lbs.  I was supposed to measure myself this past weekend but because of my monthly visitor and that same darn water weight that Jennie complained about, I decide I would wait one more week.  I will post an update on my measurements later.  The measurements really help me and I have decided to go with them more than I do my scale for the simple reason that my weight WILL change if I drink a soda instead of water or have a full bladder or even if I am somewhat dehydrated.  The scale fluctuates so much and I got tired of letting the scale tell me how to feel about myself.  I feel good.  My resting heart rate has decreased.  My ability to lift patients at work has improved.  My clothes that I recently bought are already even more loose than they were when I purchased them.  And I can even tell a difference in my body when I look in the mirror.  That's huge for me.  I see myself every day and I know that if I can even tell, then a difference is being made.  Like I have said before.....I am in this for the long haul.  I would like to see that certain # on the scale but I also want to see muscle definition in my legs, arms and stomach.  It's gonna take a while.  My gym membership is paid for the whole year.  I hope to see the biggest change by the time I renew my membership for 2013!
