I have been trying to lose weight by eating right and exercising since first part of February. I even hired a personal trainer to help me with this humongous task. My goal was to lose 20 lbs (about 10 kg.) by Friday, May 14th. The reason for that date was that we are going on a cruise to the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean and I desperately wanted to lose the poundage so I can fit into a bikini. Should a 46-year old woman be in a bikini, you ask? It is definitely a discussion for another blog post, if you ask me. Just wait for the pictures so you can be the judge.
This morning when I stepped on the scale, the scale chimed and sang the happy tunes of "21" lbs lost. I have now reached my goal, which happens to be my first goal. Now I will work on my next 9 lbs which will hopefully happen during the summer.
I have discarded a major portion of my wardrobe since my weight-loss. Needless to say, I have also refurbished the wardrobe somewhat. It is very telling that when the UPS driver comes to the door at my work and says:"Another package for Marja" that I've been busy shopping for new clothes. I quite enjoy this activity.
All in all, I feel great about myself and I'm happy. I think this is a major accomplishment from my part. It is a great testimony to myself that I CAN change my habits, I CAN use my willpower and greatly affect my life in a positive way. And of course I have to thank my slave-driver of a trainer, Lisa, who whipped me into shape.
Now, onward and forward with the rest of it.
