3rd Challenge Week 7 of 16

So what happened during week 7?  


  • I did 59.6 miles this week in a combination of walking/biking.
  • I lost 1.4 lbs which is big as the previous week I lost 6.4 lbs.
  • I started the subbing gig - I knew teachers worked hard, underpaid but I think until you just stepped into their world you don't realize how hard it really is. 
  • I wrote my goals, my gratitude and drank my water. 
  • I head back from a company I interviewed with in Southlake and well I was passed up because she sees a lot of potential of me and the position can't provide that.
I am knocking on the door of 40 and hope to achieve this by November 8.  As you know I had a goal to lose 50 lbs by 3/24 this year but it didn't happen.  I reset my button in May, and I now just want to meet this goal by 12/31/19.  Need to keep pushing ahead.

I feel like I am doing it and people are commenting (not the unfiltered people) but the genuine friends who are encouraging me.  Things I heard this week:

At Work:
     Coworker:     Have you lost weight?  
     Me:              Yes, a little over 30 lbs.
     Coworker:     I can tell, you are looking good.
     Me:              Thank you

In a Text:          You look great
                         Thank you

Now I am not sharing to brag but to show that sometimes people do not say anything but they are watching you, when you make a decision to live a healthy lifestyle.  

How do I feel?  I am happy.  In a time where I am struggling with being unemployed and running out of money, I find comfort in knowing that I am in control of my healthy lifestyle.  I am walking more, riding a bike and while I may not feel like doing it, once I get out there my body loves moving and needs it.

You too, can feel this way.  Make a decision to start with one thing first, it should be realistic and achievable.  Drink a lot of soda? Cut it in half and replace with more water.  Not exercising?  Start walking to the corner of your street.

I am not giving up, I am going to crush my goals and on 12/31 I will reach my goal of being 50 lbs lighter.
