Checking In – A New Frontier

by

hyc030I hardly know where to start this check in…

For the first time in at least five years – probably more like six or seven – I am in the 220s. I’m only just stepping in, but I am there.

I’m a bit gobsmacked about the whole thing, to be honest, but I am so glad that my ‘rededication’ to the plan has paid off this week. My paranoid side was trying to convince me that since I had indulged and gained a couple pounds, suddenly the whole thing wasn’t going to work anymore.

Yeah, not very sane, but you know how it goes…

My husband ‘snuck’ into my blog and posted about our walk this past weekend. I feel so awesome about the walk. I think the husband is starting to get nervous because I’m just a few kilos away from equaling him in weight… Of course, he’s a good five inches taller than me so he will still look fitter than me. But hey, maybe it’ll be a motivator for his fitness. Hehe.

I’m not sure I’m going to make my goal, but I am going to give it all I have. I know that even if I walk in at my current weight, it will still qualify as a fantastic loss.

Who would have thought I would ever look forward to a doctor’s appointment? Truth be told, I’m looking forward to impressing my dietician more. Haha. She’s an awesome lady.

I do plan on getting a lot of questions answered at the doctor, but more of that in the future.

How are you going?
