Two Tenths Away

August 30, 2020 by not your average mom 16 Comments

Back in May I set an initial weight loss goal.

It wasn’t where I wanted to be ultimately, but it would be a first big step.

I wanted to lose 20 pounds.

Today I was at 19.8 pounds down.

I’m so close.

Just 0.2 more to go.

Losing twenty pounds would put me at 161.4 pounds.

But what would really be nice would be to get back under 160.

My ultimate goal is 145 pounds, but mentally, to be back in the 150’s again would be a really big milestone for me.

I’ll give you another update in two weeks when I’m under 160, dammit!

You can get comfortable with being uncomfortable!

That’s when the growth (and maybe the loss) happens!

      You don’t have to do anything. But it is possible to make changes at any age!

    This is amazing. I really love that last picture, it looks like you’re reaching out to your past/future self and saying “we got this!”

    That’s great progress Suzie. Well done! I was just a little confused by your tattoos. They seem to have switched places on your body (from left to right) in the before and after shots. How’s that possible? Keep up the good work! 🙂

      It’s because I used the selfie mode for my first photo and then started taking pictures with the regular camera and not selfie mode a couple weeks into documenting my progress when I got a new phone. 😂😂😂
