| Christmas 2011 with my favorite gift! |
Weighing under 150 was a huge deal for me. It was the best birthday
gift I could’ve received, and I did it for myself. My confidence was
getting better each day. I knew I should start setting other reachable
goals for myself at this point so I had something to work towards. A lot
of people make their goals unattainable, so I decided I had to be
realistic. My goals were as follows:
Christmas- 143 lbs
Valentine’s Day- 135 lbs
Final- 130 lbs
I didn’t create a timeline for my final goal weight because I knew as
I inched closer to it it would take more work to achieve and I didn’t
want to set myself up for failure.
I had 4 weeks exactly between my birthday and Christmas and knew
losing 6-7 pounds was something I could achieve. I baked like crazy
right up until Christmas and sampled everything along the way. Because I
weigh myself daily I wasn’t surprised, but I was genuinely happy when I
weighed 140 on Christmas morning. I had beat my goal by 3 pounds. What a
great Christmas present to myself (the stand mixer was from my
parents…best gift ever and blue to match my stone backsplash)
More than the gifts I received, many of my family members began
asking about my weight loss. Ryan’s family was extra supportive and
encouraged me to continue on as well.
