I went in for my monthly weigh in appointment last week. March was not a good month for me. Between the horrible stomach flu that hit both of my Nathans (but didn't hit me thank God) and the strep throat that knocked 2.0 down for about three days, I didn't get out as much as I wanted to. I was trying to stick to my diet and that didn't go as well as I'd hoped it would. I went in to the appointment fully believing that I was going to see my first gain.
Imagine my surprise when the scale said 7 pounds lost! I've lost 30 pounds on the medication my ob/gyn prescribed to me and I've lost a total of 37 pounds since the beginning of my weight loss journey. Not so bad if I say so myself!
My ob/gyn placed 30 pounds worth of IV saline bags on my lap and it was hard to imagine that I had carried that much weight around before! No wonder I was so tired all the time! I can walk around carrying my toddler and it's the same as what I carried by myself before. I didn't realize what 30 pounds really looked like. I'm so proud of myself and I refuse to let anything stop me now.
I have an amazing support system, not just with family, friends, and my wonderful husband, but with some fantastic ladies online. The challenge we have set for ourselves for the month of April is the 50 mile walk. We will each walk 50 miles this month and at the end of the month, we'll have walked a total of 500 miles! I already got my first mile in this morning while grocery shopping. You'd be surprised how the steps add up while walking around Walmart.
I'm excited to see how much weight I'll lose this month while walking!
