Before I started on this adventure, I thought that I wouldn't make it this far, granted 3 weeks is not very far at all. I've tried other "diets" (Atkins, Weight Watchers, 48 hour Hollywood, etc.) and they have only worked temporarily. The most I ever lost was about 100 pound during my first time on Weight Watchers. I kept it off for a couple of years, but it eventually all crept back on. I find myself back in familiar territory and know that this time it will be different. I want it too bad, which is something that was missing each time before.
I walked into my meeting tonight and stepped on the scale expecting my plateau to finally begin to kick in since my water weight is basically gone. I was very pleasantly surprised, especially since I lost 3.2 pounds in week 3, which is more than in week 2. This was more than I could ever expect. Now my total is now 10.6 pounds in 3 weeks. I feel like I'm walking on air.
The big change this week is that I started working out again. I was finally cleared by my physical therapist to actually start walking again. I walked three times this week and was even able to get over 10,000 steps on Saturday and Sunday, which was a complete surprise for me considering most of my weekend is spent sitting down.
I love the changes that I'm making and the way that I'm feeling because of those changes. I have set a few new goals for myself based on things that I've noticed over the past few weeks.
1. Be able to sit comfortably in an airplane seat.
2. Be able to sit in a student desk without my stomach hitting the desk.
3. Be able to walk up the four flights of stairs at work without having my knee be in pain.
