The Big 2-0

I did it. I don't even want to think about how long it took, but I finally did it! I stepped on the scale this morning and the elusive 20 pound mark finally came. It seriously feels like it took forever to get here. I don't know why that number was so important to me, but it was. Back in my Weight Watchers day, one of the first goals you shoot for is losing 10% of your body weight. Without sharing my actual weight, I will tell you that 20 pounds is a little more than 10% of my starting weight! I have to admit, I was honestly wondering if I'd ever get to 20 pounds! I thought for sure that once I started with the trainer and got more serious about my exercise that the weight would just melt off. But, that hasn't been the case. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with the results I've seen since starting with the trainer. But, they weren't the results I expected. My body has been changing, tightening, and toning, but the weight wasn't doing much. Until now. I feel like the pieces are starting to fall into place. Now that I finally got here, a huge weight has been lifted and I can now focus on the next mark, which will be 25 pounds. Here we go...!
