Slow and Steady

So I realize that I have not posted for the past couple of weeks.  I just really haven't felt like I had anything to share to be honest with you.  No I have not given up or anything, I have just kind of settled into my routine and there is really nothing exciting to say about it.  I am eating healthy and exercising regularly and losing weight slow and steady.  I am now one week shy of four months and am down 64.4 lbs.  I am averaging about 2.5 lbs. a week right now, which I am happy with, but I would really like to be in the 3-4lb range.  I will definitely take what I can get though.  

I am currently getting ready for my 5K that I will be running on May 19th.  I have definitely seen an improvement in that area and am actually kind of excited to do it now.  Another fun thing is that I have found several more articles of clothing that fit me again.  That for me has been a big help in motivation.  When I look at myself I still just see this big fat girl, and it is hard to see the progress when looking in the mirror.  I know I am doing great and making good progress, but it is just hard to break away from that mental image I have of myself.  So to be able to fit into smaller clothes has been a big help in realizing that it really is happening.  

This past month I also took second place in a contest they were doing at Sponsor Me Slim.  I won an ageloc galvanic spa system which I am super excited to start using.  My face and skin could definitely use some help.

I am really trying hard to just live normal and not think so much all the time about what I am doing.  Obviously it takes a lot of thought and time, but I am trying to really live my new lifestyle and just be OK with what it is.  I have realized that this is something I will forever struggle with, but if I can get comfortable with the idea that this is just how it is, then I feel I will have more success over the duration of my life.  Overall I am feeling better every day and looking to the future with excitement at all the things that will be mine.  Thanks again to everyone for your continued support!!
