Losing 20

November 20th, 2011 is the day I went back to Weight Watchers. Since that day, I completely changed my eating habits, I’ve been working out 2-4 times a week and really giving it 100%. My first goal was 10lbs and I hit that. My next goal was 20lbs, and that was a little tougher to reach. But with persistence and commitment, I finally did it! Yesterday at my weigh in, I reached exactly 20lbs lost. Wooo hooo!

It felt so good to get to my goal! My next one is 26lbs. I know that seems like a weird number, but it’s the amount of weight that I had gained when I realized I had to do something to change it all around. I’ll be so happy if I can get there. The more weight I lose, the harder it is. And I’m losing my personal trainer in a few weeks, so I’m kind of panicking about that. Around the 20lb mark is when things start slowing down for me. My metabolism has gotten used to eating better, and I have to work extra hard. What usually starts to happen is I get frustrated, or burnt out. But I have to stay focused on what I’m doing and keep going. I can’t go back to where I was, I was miserable. I feel so much happier and healthy now; I just have to keep going!
