Well here we are, another Tuesday. Today was not a bad day. I went for a run and ran 3.3 miles and I am totally proud of myself for that. I am a super slow runner and I hate running, but I did it. I went running in a friend's neighborhood today to change up the scenery. I went by a house with a man out front working in his yard. I have never meet or seen this man before. As I was running by he said "Hi. How are you?" I thought he was just greeting me and since I had headphones on and music playing (and really I was just trying not to die) I just waved and gave a half-assed smile. He stopped what he was doing and said "You're doing great. Keep it up. Don't give up." He was super encouraging. A simple act from a stranger was definitely a help.
When I started this program, I had a BMI of 39 - that is just one point shy of being morbidly obese. Now I have a BMI of 30 - just one pound to go until I am no longer obese. So this time next week I will "just" be overweight. I say "just" because who wants to be obese? Who wants to be overweight. No one. I say "just" because I won't have that awfulness hanging over my head anymore. I am heading in the right direction. I am not there yet, but I will be. I do not want to be overweight, but I know VERY soon that I will never be defined as obese again. That is kinda huge. Just sayin'.
This week I lost one pound and I am okay with that. Yes every week I would love three-four pound weight losses, but that cannot happen. And the truth is, I have not gained once while on this program. I love that. I lost one this week for a total of 45 on this program and an even 50 overall. I have lost 50 freakin' pounds thank you very much! Feels dang good!
