Feeling good at 6 weeks

bjb561 · February 2015

Today I turned 50. I've been dreading this day for what seems like years. And you know what, it wasn't so bad. Maybe part of the reason it didn't seem so bad is because 6 weeks ago something clicked in my head and I started taking care of me.

So far in 6 weeks I've lost 11 pounds. Sure I wish it would have been more but after losing 5 pounds the first week I continue to lose slowly but consistently. I'll gladly take it. My clothes feel better and when I look in the mirror I feel better about the
person I see.

Better yet in 6 weeks of eating healthy my medical tests have improved dramatically. Cholesterol and glucose all reduced well into the normal range.

I still have a lot of weight to lose. But here's to being fit, fabulous and 50. And the best part I celebrated my birthday by going out for lunch and dinner. And yup I'm almost 400 calories over my daily limit and I dont care. I logged all of my food and I finally realize that the world won't end. Tomorrow is a whole new day.
