I titled my blog Here goes nothing last week. I didn't think too deeply into it, but I came across a quote about it yesterday that made me smile. It went "Thinking 'here goes nothing' could be the start of everything." ~ Drew Wagner. It really hit home for me. I'm an all or nothing type of girl. I'm either in it to win it or I don't give a shit. There is no in between, and I've always been that way. That quote meant a lot to me and I hold it close to my heart through this weight loss journey.
Thursdays fast went well. I'll admit it was a difficult week but I think I made it hard on myself by what I chose to eat for lunch on my fast days (extremely low calorie soups). They just weren't filling at all and there wasn't enough protein in them. I am better equipped now for the coming week with heftier soups, still low calorie but more protein.
My weigh in yesterday did not disappoint. I did a little victory dance in my undies haha. I lost another pound. So 2.5 down in the last 2 weeks. It is slow going but to be expected since I truly would be happy with a 15 to 20 pound loss. My favorite pants are already feeling loose. I had to keep pulling them up this week (time to dig out a belt). And I swear my face is looking slimmer. Tom was laughing at me and joked that an almost 3 pound loss on my 5'3 frame is like 20 pounds on a very overweight person. I agreed because essentially it is. I have a medium frame and am petite so I carry the extra weight in a not so flattering way. I'm not bashing myself, just stating the obvious- that I should have always watched what I put into my mouth.
Anyway, winding down now. I'm extremely happy with my progress thus far. I am getting fuller on less now and oddly enough I seem to really savor food more than I did before. Funny how that works.
