Lots of great things happened within the first few hours of the day! Gotta love when that happens!
Let’s start with me than we will go on to what was even more exciting for me. I am FINALLY under 200lbs! Barely under, but under. I weighed in at 199.6 today. It was so nice to see a 1 instead of a 2 at the beginning of my number.
The best part is that I wasn’t having any anxiety over it, nothing changed in my life when it happened; life is good…and I’m out of the 200’s…FOREVER!
Then…
I saw the lady who came in 2nd place in our competition at work. With her big giant smile and her cute Spanish accent, she said “I don’t even know what I won” I laughed and told her about the discount she gets on her health coverage. Again she smiled big and said, “Oh that’s good, I like that but I like that I feel good about myself better”. All’s I could think to myself was, she got it...YAY! It makes a huge difference in our fitness journey to have the right goals and the right reasons to lose weight and/or learn to live a healthy lifestyle.
Every person I know, including me, who has tried to lose weight or become “fit” for superficial reasons, was unsuccessful. Yup, we may have lost weight or started a workout regimen; but, I guarantee you, the weight came back and the workouts fizzled out. Same goes for anyone who tries these fad diets…ain’t gonna work, and if it does, it won’t be for long.
I love this stuff…I can’t tell you how it makes me feel to deal with people who are making healthy lifestyle changes. I’ve never had such a great feeling of fulfillment as I do when talking with people about their successes, obstacles, etc. Even a while back, when my trainer was doing seminars and I helped out a little bit, it was great! I really wonder at times if I’m in the wrong line of work. The great thing is I maintain the wellness program at work J so I can’t wait to plan and roll out what we may be doing next!
