Birthday Countdown

Wow! I cannot believe it’s the 8th month of 2009. I am now 25 days before my 39th birthday and 7.2 pounds away from hitting 40n pounds lost on Jenny Craig.  I am SO EXCITED and I gotta be honest, also a little nervous.  I mean, I’m REALLY doing this.  Since I rededicated myself to the program on May 23rd,  I have consistently lost with the exception of one week.  I have really proven to myself that I CAN do this, and for someone who hasn’t weighed 205 since 2001 that really matters.  I remember vividly on my wedding day, December 8th 2001, that morning I weighed myself and the scale said 195. I was so disappointed that I had “excused” my way out of reaching my goal weight of 165. Then after seven days in the Western Caribbean on my honeymoon I came back at 205lbs. Yes a 10lb gain.  So for me it would represent a huge milestone.  Reaching this by my birthday would be the best present I could give myself, and ironically it’s a present that ONLY I can give to myself. In some ways that’s very empowering because it means it’s 100% in my control to follow the program.  OWNING my program has been a long time coming. I’ve put people and external life situations in charge for so long, surrendering my power. It really feels good to be in this place.  So I lost 0.8 pounds this past week and at first I was disappointed, but my consultant quickly reminded me that I’ve loss 4.4 pounds over the last two weeks, so I’m doing well.  Okay I’ll be back to report my next update soon.  August…still can’t believe it.

Forget the past…there is no future in it.

Hope
