I cannot believe that the Shrink into Summer challenge at the Sisterhood is already over! It went by so fast! Hopefully there is another challenge in on the books because I am totally ready to drop the last 12 pounds! That’s right! That’s all I have left to lose! This morning’s weigh-in was 137.2! That’s down 1.6 from last week! I am so excited and seeing that number get lower and lower is so motivating to get me to my goal!
I wasn’t able to run this morning (boo!) as I feel on the verge of a flare so I feel like its better to take a day off then to push through and end up much worse than I started off. I must say that the bonus of living with chronic illness is that it teaches you to be very in tune with your body so when I felt the flare coming I tried to be sure to rest. Last night I spent the evening curled up in our big chair with my pillow, laptop, and NCIS.
So onto the final results:
Starting weight: 164.4
Challenge starting weight: 146.6
Challenge Goal Weight: 140.0
Last week’s weigh-in: 138.8
Today’s weigh-in: 137.2
Change: -1.6
Challenge Change: -9.4
Overall Change: -27.2
I cannot believe that I was able to lose over 9 pounds on this challenge! My goal was 6.6! I am so close that the 30# mark I can taste it!
personally, it has definitely been my most successful challenge as I actually reached my goal! With a little help from Celiac of course. As much as I really wish I reached my goal because of my steadfast adherence to a healthy diet and daily exercise, I can’t. The side effects of Celiac were definitely in my favor for this challenge. But I’ve still gotten my butt in gear and have completed 3 weeks of C25K already and am determined to see it through and begin running some 5ks this fall!
