77.5kg !!! Celebrating over 160 POUNDS in Weight Loss
Moments before this photograph was taken this morning, I had just read something so amazingly beautiful via email on my iPad it took my breath away, so moved was I that I wanted to send a photo to the special person who'd sent me one to thank them showing them my face as it was when I read their magical words.
Remember the now very famous inspiring movie quote from "We Bought a Zoo" Matt Damon's character Benjamin Mee:
"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."
I'm constantly reminded of the day I took 20 seconds of insane courage about two weeks ago and its changed and transformed me.
Later in the morning something magical happened again, I weigh 77.5kg today, I'd hoped to be around the 79kg today at the official weigh in with the dietician I've been working with this morning but seeing that number magically appear on the scales means I now only have 10kg to go for my target weight and have knocked a month off the goal date as well !!!!
I just feel so so so excited and overwhelmingly proud of myself. I have moved ahead of goal schedule for the first time in nineteen months!!
Weight Loss to date : so I've smashed loosing 160 pounds then, its now 160.72 pounds, 72.9 kg or 11.48 stones in nineteen and a half months that's an insane amount of body weight gone, can not even begin to put into words what this achievement actually means to me, 10kg / 22 pounds or only 1.57 stones to go, BRING IT ON !!!!
Loads and loads of hard work, sweat, tears, every possible emotion you can come up with and a few more besides have gone into this transformation, the last part having been the hardest climb of all, but finally I can see the peek, a mere 10kg away, its so close now I can almost touch it.
The new goal date of Friday 13th September has been firmly set, willing myself to smash this goal too and come up with a brand new set for afterwards.
Loads to be thankful for, Tai Chi meditations are going to feel incredibly powerful tonight I can already feel it all building inside me, will be good to get there.
