Getting to my meeting was quite eventful. I always go to the morning one but I managed to sleep entirely through it and was incredibly bummed – it’s such a part of my weekly routine and I schedule my week around it that I knew it’d throw me off. So I quickly decided that I’d head to the evening meeting instead (which is located in a nearby town)… the trouble was getting there.

I had to cycle at least 4 miles of country roads at 7pm without any lights, and barely able to see where the road was located. There was a huge hill (it felt like a mountain) and by the time I made it I was waaay late and very out of breath. It felt like I proved my dedication somehow by going through so much just to stand on a stupid scale. In the end – it paid off.

I had the single biggest loss since September – 4lbs. I knew I’d done well this week and probably should’ve actually been eating a bit more the past couple of days to keep up with how much I’d been working out, but I also increased my water intake, and I’m thinking the combination must’ve produced a big result. It’s rare at this stage to see this big of a loss so I’m keeping it all in perspective for next week, but it was a great feeling for sure.

Total loss: 53.5lbs
BMI: 22.6
Pounds from WW goal: 3.5lbs
Pounds from personal goal: 9.5lbs

I’m so close I’m actually getting nervous – what will it be like to not want to lose any more weight? That’s just a weird thought but I’m only weeks away from that reality.

Also, for the first time in my adult life I’m excited for warm weather to arrive – I’ve always dreaded tank tops and shorts weather.  This experience has definitely been transformational in so many ways.
