So for those of you that have been checking up on me and how I'm doing through this blog, I'm so sorry to say things have been HECTIC around my area. Finding a new place, moving into the new place, as well as going through things and moving out of my old place have been the story of my life for the past month or so. Although on a positive note, I am still well within reach of my weight loss goal and on the track to reaching my 100 pound mark very soon!
Not only have I continued to lose weight through out these last few hectic weeks, but I have now as of last Friday lost a total of 77 lbs!! I am now only 23 pounds away from hitting my 100 pound goal! These last few weeks have been extremely stressful, but even with a week or two of maintaining and not gaining I have still managed to keep on track.
A few things have been put into my lap, as well as some things that I have began to think about because of my weight loss journey. Starting next month, I will begin teaching a Tuesday night water exercise that is about a 50 minute class. Not only is this a new step in the direction of my teaching swimming lessons already, but I am hoping that this might possibly inspire others to help their journey of losing weight through me teaching this class. I am going to be honest; I am a little nervous about what the people who regularly take the class will think of me, if I can really do this, etc. But I know in the end this will be a good experience for me and a way to get even more of an awesome work out through out my week!
Another thing that I have been thinking about is the idea of looking into career or job opportunities that have to do with possibly doing some motivational speaking and being able to talk about my process and my story. I'm sure there are other people out there that felt like they were and still are completely struggling with their weight, life, and own body image. The question that I keep thinking about is, what if I could tell my story and change someone's life because of it? I have been playing with the idea a little bit, and who knows maybe I'll look into something in that line of work after I graduate in August and see if that is something that I want to do.
Other than that, life is good:) I'm in a new place now in my life and I'm so ready to kick these last few pounds off and keep living the wonderful life that I am now. Soon enough it will be time to start planning a wedding, and looking for a dress:) Can't wait!
