Sweet Sixteen

Week 16... week 16!!! That's almost 4 months! I have been eating right and exercising for 16 weeks now. I have worked out Monday-Friday for 16 weeks. I changed my mind 16 weeks ago. More importantly, I changed my LIFE 16 weeks ago. 

Guess what I know now? I know that I am strong. Stronger than I ever thought possible. I know that I have  stamina, will power, and enough determination for 10 people. Oh! And I'm a runner! I'm not fast or good at it yet, but I AM a runner. 

Is my life easy? Heck no. There are more stressors in my life right now than there have been in quite awhile, but the exercise helps beyond measure with that. I may weigh just a tad under 300, and I may still look like a blob, but my insides don't match my outsides. My insides feel like I've lost 100 pounds already. :-)

Week 16 was run-of-the-mill. Nothing crazy good or crazy bad going on. Just life. But a small milestone was passed this morning when I stepped on the scale and saw a 3 pound loss because it put me over 40! I am officially down 41 pounds!!! Woohoo! 50, here I come. 

This has been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. Some weeks are great, some weeks I trudge through and can't wait to see the end of. Week 17 will find me buckled in and ready! And determined.
