Losing weight is never easy. We can all agree that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. It's been a tough two months in my journey to hit 180. But I'm happy to say I lost a total of six pounds. I started at 224 and dropped down to 217. Now my goal is to hit 207 pounds.
One of the biggest motivations right now is Ryan's wedding. Being a Brides Maid, I want to look good in my dress and of course be able to walk with out thigh pain. (Happy to say I haven't had thigh pain in two years) My other motivation is being able to fit into clothes and smaller sizes like a large or a medium. Since 2012, I had to shop in the plus size department. XL and 2XL which is something I want to eliminate in my life. If I can fit into a L or a M size clothing. Plus being able to fit into a new swim suit, my life would be complete.
My third motivation is my job. Those of you that don't know about my job, most of the time it's two hours while other times it can be five hours. That's how long I'm on my feet. Being on my feet for that long does hurt my back, but it also gives me the time to stretch out my legs while I'm standing. Which shows how badly I need to get in shape.
One good exercise I've been doing five days a week, is climbing up and down New York City Subway stairs. Defiantly a good for your legs because you are putting pressure on your legs as you walk up and down.
Next time I give you guys an update, I hope to be 207 or even better 200. We will have to wait and see what God has in store for me. If you have any questions about my weight loss journey, please feel free to ask me, I am more than happy to answer your questions.
