| | Week of 10/18/2018 - Featured Blog Post First Major Goal Reached! I did it! I made it out of the "obese" category! I never thought I'd reach this point-- seriously, I've been above this weight since college. I'm so psyched to have made it this far and can't wait to get out of "overweight" and back down into a healthier weight. Still, I'm >2/3 through my weight loss journey, all since February, and now that my ankle is improving enough to walk daily the weight has started coming off again. Non-scale victories: I can now purchase clothing anywhere. Did you know that clothing at "normal" stores are way cheaper than at "plus-sized" stores?? I have a lot more energy, tons more strength and muscle definition. I sleep better, so I am more alert and productive at work. Really, the changes are absolutely amazing! Am I fully pleased with the "new me"? Nope, but that's okay. The weight has come off almost everywhere except where I really care about: the belly. Well, there's still fat, but there's also a lot of hanging skin. I've promised myself that once I've achieved and maintained my final goal weight (+/- 10 lbs) for a full year and have saved enough, I'll allow myself to get a tummy tuck if I still feel the need. I know, a silly, vain thing, but I also know myself well enough to understand I need a goal to work towards to keep from falling into a funk. I probably will never do it, but that SMART goal is something I need in life. I just want to thank you all-- for your inspiration, encouragement, and support. It's you all, my fellow Sparkers, who have made this journey work.
