So, I stepped on the scale this morning and I was back to the weight I was before my summer lull. A great feeling. A combination of euphoria and that's right ... fear. As I made my breakfast and got myself ready for work I thought .. "Erika, what would happen if you turned on the same burners now that you turned on back when you were 60 pounds bigger? What would happen then?" The answer was simple: I could do it! I could actually run that final stretch to be the weight I have always wanted to be. That is scary in a happy kinda way. Really hard to explain.
But nonetheless, this is my current experiment. I am not self-sabotaging my progress. I am applying the same commitment, effort, and good eating TODAY that I did last year because guess what? Now the real work begins.
I haven't been this weight since high school, but even then I weighed too much. Just because I have lost 60 pounds doesn't mean I don't need to lose another 30, more like 40.
At this point in my life I am teaching myself that good enough is just not good enough for me .. especially not when it comes to reaching a healthy weight and living a healthy life.
I am going running today. Wish me lots of calories burned!
Until next time, E
