Week 16 Progress

What a phenomenal week....and it really has nothing much to do with weight loss...though I had good numbers this week. But more on that in a second....

Yesterday my daughter had her baby so I have my first glam-baby as of 6:04pm 12/06/12. I am so proud...She went into labor about 10am and I was so worried I would not be here in time to witness the birth as she dilated so fast they expected her to deliver by 2pm. I got on the noon flight and was scheduled to land about 5pm...Well at about 1:30pm everything came to a stop...no matter how she pushed Amariana (my glam-baby) would not budge. She must have heard me crying in the Dallas Airport. Because after I got to the hospital things started picking back up and within 45 minutes of me being at the hospital we had a healthy baby girl weighing in at 5lbs 9oz and 18.5 inches long...(See pic below)...

Onto the weight loss journey...

I wore my size 11/12 jeans and medium shirt to work on Tuesday and everyone kept telling me how small I was...I felt so good...After getting home I of course decided to snap a picture to see what "looking good" was and I was so happy with the pic. I am so amazed how I have changed...My face is of course smaller...but my forehead looks bigger...neck looks longer...and even see collar bones again...I am reminded more and more how happy I am that I had the sleeve....

This week I resumed exercising and for that I was rewarded. This week I had a 4.2lbs loss...I am a bit nervous about keeping it off this week with me traveling back home with food I love to eat alot...But I am going to keep my workout game up so hopefully things balance up...And speaking of working out I had not worked out in 3 weeks so I was thinking I would be hard getting back in the mix...Suprisingly, I got in the treadmill intent on easing back into it and running a mile and maybe walking the other...Well turns out I got on there and ran the entire two miles...Again I love my sleeve because running was so hard on my knees and well my cardiovascular too for that matter...Now I am killing two miles with something still left in the tank...Half marathon here I come...

With the 4.2 loss this week, I have lost my first 50lbs. I am just 27lbs from goal...I remember when I first started this journey I was so overwhelmed by the nearly 80lbs I needed to lose...Now in just 3 and half months...which has gone by so quickly I am more than half way to goal.
