Weigh In

As promised, I got on the scale this morning. I weighed in at 220.3 pounds! 6 pounds gone. I am sooooo freaking excited. I thought for sure I would’ve gained. I was so scared to step on that scale. If I would’ve gained I would’ve felt so defeated. I worked my ass off this past week so it feels good to see it pay off. I just need to stick with it.

Staying consistent and not losing motivation has been one of my biggest struggles. Seeing that scale move is definitely helping with that so far. I’ve also got some pretty amazing people coming along for the ride. My soon to be sister in law went with me to the gym on the first day and signed up with me. She knew about my anxiety and practically help my hand that first day. She showed me what she does when she goes and how to use the machines. I felt so at ease. Shout out to Suzie!! You da best!! She is marrying my brother in 12 very short days, so I should have started this journey a year ago but I didn’t. So I will remain the fat bridesmaid. But at least I will be the 6 pounds lighter fat bridesmaid if I can at least maintain.

I mention to my cousin Ashley(who is more like my sister) that Suzie and I joined the gym. She’s like, ok, let me go with you. She used my guest pass and got her own membership that same night. And guess what?? She read my blog and said that it inspired her!! The literal main reason that I started this was in the hopes that I could inspire someone. Now we talk every day about the gym. Crazy in comparison to our normal conversations haha.

I have a good friend named Lisa who goes to the same gym. When I tell you this woman has been on my ass to go to the gym with her for years, I am not exaggerating one bit. Now she texts me every day asking if I have been to the gym or if I plan on going. She couldn’t believe it when I went every day this weekend. Like she was in complete shock, she asked who I was.

I feel like I owe it to not only myself but to Suzie, Ashley and Lisa to keep this shit going. I did not go to the gym today unfortunately but god I wish I would have. I worked all day then had to take my son to buy a banana costume (don’t ask) for his upcoming birthday party this weekend. We also had to start on book report project so it was a bust day. Could I have gotten up at 4am and gone before work? Yes. Did I? Hell no. Do I wish I would have? Yes. That my become my routine for the work days so I can make sure to get it in. Although Max really wants to go to the gym so I am going to try to start taking him with me which will make it easier. Anyways, I feel like shit that I didn’t go today but it is totally ok to have a rest day. I intended for this post to have less to do with being fat and more to do with other things I am dealing with but clearly that’s not what happened here lol. Sooooo here’s a picture of my weigh in and a pic of Max in his banana costume because why not?
