Being a Friday, today isn’t one of my regular weigh-in days (those are usually Wednesday and Sunday), but I knew I was close to another major goal and am so happy I’ve hit the 2XX’s!
I honestly couldn’t imagine ever being back in the 200’s when this all started. I know that was a goal for sure, but I just couldn’t see it. It’s probably been close to 30 years since i’ve been in the 200’s.
I still have a long way to go and although I am still consistently losing, I am losing a bit slower than in the past. That is okay. I mean, sure, I’d love to drop massive weight but I also know that’s not where I am and that wouldn’t be healthy. I’m content if I can stay this course.
The last few months have been much more of struggle to choose good food, but at least when I do choose poorly its not all the time and it’s much smaller portions. I hope I can continue that for the rest of my life. I miss Mountain Dew and Sweet Tea and copious amounts of sugary sweets but having better health, not hurting all the time, and being able to walk places is much more worth it than that momentary carb fest.
Most people shoot for “Onederland”…the 1xx’s. I don’t think I will ever get there. I honestly am not sure anything in the 100’s would be a healthy weight for me…especially since I don’t plan on having skin removal. I think given my height and build it wouldn’t be good for me to hit those numbers.
I don’t know what my final weight is going to be. I think if I hit anything below 250 I will be happy. But I think maybe 225-ish might be a maintainable weight for me…possibly. I still don’t know.
But for now I’m very happy with that 299! Moving forward!
