Weigh in Wednesday!

Holy crap, I knew I would lose this week but I DID NOT except this result AT ALL!!!

This week – 2.1kg

Since surgery – 55.7kg

Total – 74.6kg

I mean really, I struggle to even comprehend that I have lost that much weight in less than 12 months. I am in disbelief of what I have achieved, not only in weight loss but in the completely transformation I have made to my life!

I had my fortnightly board meeting which I always like to make a special effort to look nice and professional so decided why not pull out my latest zulily bargain purchase!

I am feeling good, I am feeling comfortable, I feel pretty, I feel confident, I feel proud! And after living my entire adult life essentially wearing nothing but black I can honestly say I am enjoying seeing myself blossom and to wearing a whole range of colours.  Today it seems coral is my new black!

I am also guessing that others thought I looked nice as this morning at school drop off, I had a life first – I was very visibly being checked out by some of the dads. In fact not one, not two but four different dads! Yes yes I know it’s sexist but whatever, I’m stoked and it was very flattering, I’m not used to getting a second look let alone that reaction.

After my Board meeting I went and had a quick drink with my two clinician leads who were both in disbelief of how much I am “fading in front of their eyes”. Especially from clinicians who I respect this is an exciting thing for me.

Tonight I hit up the gym and was so surprised when I walked in to find my name on display!

Wow, I can’t believe I’m the 3rd on the list for longest distance on the Espresso bikes across the entire gym!! So to celebrate in my 960 calories, 75 minutes cardio workout I pushed myself on the bike more than I ever have before and added another 20km to my interactive bike tally! On top of the 20km I also did 25 minutes on the treadmill pushing to incline 20 and 5 minutes in the stair master.

1 year ago I would have struggled to walk 200 metres! Almost 75kg later I am now cycling 20km!! Life is good and I am proud!

    And so you should be Miss Holly! You looked amazing in your new coral dress. And just reading about your gym marathons exhausts me. You are truly an inspiration.
