Wellz, if I had not had a goal, who knows where I would have gotten? So I'm looking at it positively and am I basically super excited to have come within 1 pound of my year-end goal. I was at 201 on New Year's Day, 1.1 pound more than my goal weight of 199.9. Based on how the middle of the month was going, I consider it a huge victory. I am down 79 pounds and 35 inches from where I was at the beginning of 2011. I never thought I would ever be able to say that, I really didn't imagine that I'd really do it, it was too good to be true. But here I sit, in my size 14 Gap pants and Large sweater, remembering this time last year when a 24 fit comfortably and I could never wear a shirt smaller than a 2x. What an incredible year :) And I'm not done.
My goal for the first half of this year, leading up to my 1-year anniversary of surgery on July 18th, is to lose another 35-45 pounds, and get toned and in better shape. I have seriously slacked on the exercise routine and while that is bad, it is actually good cuz I have lost some muscle. Sounds bad, but, my calves have always been huge and ALL muscle. I finally lost 1.5 inches on each calf so I'm glad about that.
So, onward, me and Jillian Michaels gotta be friends again and I have to get my treadmill in and running and hit the ground running, literally, in 2012.
