No More Plus Size … eventually

Ok so I know this has nothing to do with weight loss or anything but I still had to share. The gals will understand my excitement – the guys not so much. LOL

I’ve never had a pedicure before…ever! Until today that is. And I can’t believe I’ve deprived myself of this treat for so long. I have this thing with my feet being touched so I’ve always shied away from having one done. But on my personal blog, Adventures of a Single WAHM (work at home mom), back in January when I made a commitment to myself one of the goals I put down was to have a pedicure.

So many changes have been going on over the last 6 weeks since starting my weight loss story! I feel like a completely different woman! And not just because I’m losing weight but because I’m making so many positive changes and focusing on me and changing things on the inside too.

As I’ve mentioned in some of my previous posts this time round on my weight loss journey it’s been all about setting small goals that I can achieve instead of looking at ‘the big picture’ (all the weight I have to lose) like in the past. When I think of this journey in the big picture way and all the weight I have to lose it’s too easy to throw in the towel and give up. But when I break it down and look at in small goals it’s easier to deal with. And celebrating the small accomplishments seem to keep me fired up and raring to go!

This time around on my weight loss journey I decided to set small goals. My first goal was to get under 300 lbs and I’ve done that. The next goal I set for myself was to fit into a outfit that I bought 1 year ago (I know it was 1 year ago because it was bought in February for my birthday and well…here it is February – yikes another birthday is coming soon and I’ll be the big ole 35…double yikes!).

I have accomplished this next goal of fitting into this outfit! This is the 3rd time I’ve worn the outfit. I was only able to wear it twice after buying it last year because I gained weight and couldn’t fit into the jeans! I was able to fit into the outfit and wear it while I was on my recent trip to Atlanta, Georgia!

My healthy lifestyle helps those around me. This is my greatest reward.

Finding ways to improve my life is important to me.

I take steps toward living a better life by making healthy lifestyle choices. When I find wholesome choices that I want to incorporate into my life, I am eager to share these discoveries with my friends and family. Using my healthy lifestyle to help those around me is a great reward.

I think I’m a little late on posting this seems how I should have posted it when I hit bottom about my weight/health. But better late than never right?

Aside from losing weight to get healthy what’s the real motivation behind it? I really think if you stop and think about it you’ll realize (if you haven’t already) that there’s something motivating you to get healthy besides just wanting to lose weight.
