I have to say though, I cannot attribute all of my success to the Medi-Weightloss Clinic. A huge part of my motivation to stick with it and give it my all is right here... this blog and everyone who reads it. The family and friends and even strangers who contact me with tweets, Facebook messages and blog comments really fuel my ambition to stick with it and give it my all. So I want to thank everyone for cheering me on and giving me the encouragement I need. I love that I never feel alone in this journey to a healthier future.
Another incredible motivational tool for me? I know at least three couples that are pregnant right now (all due in April) and my best friend just had a baby in January. Today I need to go buy a baby shower gift for one of my friends. So, all of this baby stuff going on around me has really helped to remind me what the real goal is in losing weight: Starting a family.
Of course its nice to imagine buying smaller jeans, having a jaw line again, and making mens heads swivel as a slimmer version of me walks by (like they used to) but there is absolutely nothing I want more than to flatten out my stomach just to make it huge again with a baby bump. My Dad is convinced that my husband and I will produce the most beautiful children the world has ever known and Im hell bent on proving him right!
So, what are the short-term goals for week 5 and month 2? Well, in week 5 Id like to continue losing (obviously) and try for 3.5 lbs to make an even 25 lbs in 5 weeks. It doesnt seem unrealistic considering my progress thus far but it will be a challenge. Without challenges, boredom sets in and no one likes to be bored! For month 2, Id like to be down a total of 30 lbs or more. It doesnt seem like much of a goal considering Ive already lost 21.5 lbs but I feel like its a realistic and achievable goal. I like to keep things in perspective and try to remember always that nothing is guaranteed, not even weight loss with hard work. Plateaus are a reality when dieting so Ill just hope that I lose a reasonable amount of weight each week and be super happy if I can surpass my goals once again.
