Week 18 & 19

So it appears I remember to update on my progress every two weeks! Between school and other things in life going on, I forget about it! It's been a GREAT two weeks!! Over the past two weeks I have lost 7.5 lbs! I never really thought about how much stress can affect your body from releasing fat, however after going to King Spa a while back and two weeks ago we went to Castle Spa and I had big weeks it makes sense! Spending 3-4 hours there just relaxing and deep breathing helps your body get rid of toxins...including fat!!! This past week saw a lot of changes and parties for us. However I was not tempted for anything! HUGE SUCCESS!!!! I stuck to my plan, and in fact I thought about it less...just allowed things to flow naturally, not caring which meal I ate or thinking about it much at all. I think allowing my focus to shift elsewhere kept me from obsessing to make sure I did everything I could to loose the last lbs on the home stretch! I was really hoping to be at goal by the new year, but I might be a little bit behind. I am shooting for at least trying to be very close to my normal BMI. I'm 12.5 lbs away from normal BMI and 17.5 lbs away from what I initially set as my goal...never know if I'm going to change it! :)

I realized with this weigh in I am really really close to being at 100 lbs lost from my heaviest. Next weigh in I hope I break this barrier!!! Cannot believe how far I have come over the past 4 years...it wasn't a picture perfect journey, that's for sure, but it's my journey that I have walked through. That i have grown through and transformed!

Week 16 & 17

Once school has started I have really slacked off updating weekly! I need to set myself a reminder on Sundays to update from the previous week...so here we are almost to week 18. So far in 17 weeks I have lost 41 lbs. Week 15 saw a 1.8 change and week 17 saw a loss of 0.4 lbs. I typically have once week a month that is a lot lower than the others, but hey, a loss is a loss and I'll take it!!!

This weekend we went to Castle Spa and I'm curious if it's going to cause a boost in the weight loss again. If it does I might be making a regular monthly visit to Castle Spa!! :) I really do enjoy going there. It's a great place to just go relax, meditate, and refresh yourself! If you live in the Dallas area I HIGHLY suggest going to check it out! I did enjoy it MUCH better than King Spa...however if you want it to be more authentic to the Asian culture I'd go to King Spa.

This weekend we also were taking our Christmas pictures...which meant we needed to go shopping since we really didn't have anything to wear that fit the way it should! It was an exciting weekend for me as I bought my first pair of skinny jeans...and my calves finally fit into a pair of knee high boots!!! This was one thing I have been working to achieve for a LONG TIME!!!! I don't think I stopped smiling all day!!! I can't wait till we get our pictures on Wednesday! :) We will have to do it again when we both reach goal and transition.

Amazing what 3 years has done for us!!!
