Momentum

Wow! I can't believe I have already lost 19 pounds! I am so excited! I am feeling so much better. I haven't had any knee or hip pain in weeks and my clothes are way loose on me. I am anticipating going shopping for smaller sized clothes next month. I can't wait. And best of all, my wedding rings fit very nicely on my fingers! They slide on and off with ease. All of this progress keeps me way motivated. My job started a biggest loser challenge last week as well. I signed up for it so I can stay motivated. But even without the challenge, the progress that I have made is enough to keep me on the right track. I had forgotten what it feels like to feel good physically and emotionally. My moods are better and I have way fewer aches and pains.

The best thing is my sense of pride. For the first time in a long time I am genuinely proud of myself. And that has provided me with momentum.
