220 lbs - Total loss 25 lbs and 10%
A funny thing happened this week. I needed dress pants for an employment test I had to take and when I went to put a pair on they didn't fit. As a matter of fact all four pairs didn't fit. It would have been funnier if I didn't have to leave the house in such a rush. Thankfully my mom came to my rescue in the shirt department but my slacks were a little baggy. Of course I show up and half the people are wearing jeans!
It's weird I look in the mirror and tell myself the only direction to move is forward. I realize my weight will plateau and stall and maybe even go up a little but I am ready to be a smaller "me". I see my side profile in the mirror and all I can think is how excited I am for more changes. To be honest I am looking forward to seeing the scale dip below 200. I think back to the last 10 years and I wonder why its taken so long to realize that I don't have to be this person. I have every intention of starting each day with the positive affirmation that I will be healthy and lighter than the day before :)
I finished reading the Secret this week. I am going to read it again. I just want to remind myself to be grateful of what I have right now. I have so many family members and friends who are amazing and supportive. Without them I would not be where I am right now. I am grateful for the people who are reading my blog or who know the journey I am on and give me compliments. It is always good to have a little reinforcement.
As many of you may or may not know I applied to Concord PD for an entry level dispatch position. I have had some time to think about where I want to be and despite the chaos I really want to be in law enforcement. I have to believe that the knowledge I acquired from the Sheriff's office is useful and not all lost on a time that wasn't right for my family. I took the POST exam last night and I have to say it is really hard. I dare not assume I got a passing score until I see it in person :) I guess we will just see where this process gets me this time! You guys all know if I wasn't doing something a little bit crazy life would be boring!
