On Friday, March 9, I woke up and drove to the Weight Watchers center to weigh-in. Then, it became official. I lost my first 20 pounds in 2012! This number is significant for a few reasons. I've never lost 20 pounds before in my life. Granted, I never needed to lose any weight before I turned 30, and I didn't have that much to lose the first few years of my 30s. Still, I have needed to lose at least 20 pounds for nearly the past three years now, so I feel this is a huge accomplishment.
What comes with losing 20 pounds is having your "fat" jeans become too big for you. I pulled out an older, smaller pair of jeans, and while they are a little tight, they look pretty good! To celebrate I went out to buy something nicer for an Accepted Student Reception I was attending this weekend, and found i've dropped nearly two pant sizes. I feel different - stronger, lighter. More importantly, I feel like i'm never going to go back to the weight I was - moving forward only.
My next goal is to lose a total of 30 pounds by the Broad Street Run in the beginning of May. I'm confident i'm going to be able to do this - and I can't wait to enjoy the results!
