Day#91: Weight isn't going to stop me now

It's been a whole 3 months and a day since I started this journey.

I'm amazed at how May has been super crazy. It's been really hard to keep on track with my working out. I'm really hoping with June will come better days, with less excuses. Haha, I'm so good at making those to myself. (Ashamed face)

So here I am playing catch up! Here's some highlights from this past week. I've learned a lot about myself and how I think about goals. I've decided that I'm not going to let my weight keep me from doing things, from trying things that I've always wanted to do or been too scared to do. This is my new strategy!

I'm going to make goals based on experiences. These will be both rewarding and challenging. This means that as I prepare for my new goals that I'll be training and getting myself ready to take on those new experiences. Just how I got my feet and endurance ready for the challenge of Disney World; I'll use this method to get myself motivated.

I started asking myself "What have I given up on, or not even attempted because I've always assumed I couldn't do it because of my weight?"

I'm putting together a list:

- Rock Climbing
- Scuba Diving
- Skydiving
- Water Skiing/Wake Boarding
- Snowboarding or Skiing
- Surfing
- Hiking a Mountain
- Kick Boxing
- Ball Room Dance
- Running (Race)
- Zip-Line

These are just the beginning of my brainstorming. I need goals that challenge me, and put a bit of fear into me. I've got to be determined and be willing to put myself out there. I've already told a coworker that I'll do a color run/walk with her in August!

When I mentioned to Kendra Today about my new way of deciding on goals, she was so excited because she's apparently way way into rock climbing. She knows how to get me prepared for it. I'm so glad! WooHoo! She's so eager to see me succeed and that feels amazing.

 (Yes I did a training Session on a Monday, that's because tomorrow is my Birthday.)

I can do hard things, and I can feel good about my success. This weekend I went and purchased 2 pairs of pants, because my current pants are falling off. I'm so freaking excited. I've lost another pants size! that's three pants sizes since I started. It's pretty amazing being in the same size pants that I wore in High School!!! WooHoo!

Total of 22 lbs gone. The past couple weeks have been slow, and crazy. I've slacked off more than I like to say. I'm ready to get back on track though. I already know I can do it, I've already been doing it! Yay!

Tomorrow I'm turning 28. I'm not sure I like that much, lol. That's alright, 28's going to be even better than 27. I'm already on track to make it that way.
