pre-emptive NSV :)

MissSusieQ

I'm logging my NSV before its even happened because that's how positive I'm feeling!
For ages when I was overweight I'd dream of getting back to a certain goal weight (at my heaviest it was a 21kg loss to get there), and although I got close a few times, (at one point I was within 600g) I never quite managed to touch the magic number.
for the last 9 weeks ive been taking part in a 12 week weight loss challenge, and I've been doing well. when it started we had to name a goal weight, and in a fit of enthusiasm I decided that I wanted to exceed my dreams, and I set my target as 3kg below my initial goal.
lucky I did, because I smashed my initial goal weight a fortnight ago.
unfortunately, also a fortnight ago, I lost my last surviving grandparent, my beautiful Nan, at the still-too-soon age of almost 92. this meant a week of sad family meals and morning teas with various fly-in relatives, which are difficult to negotiate when you're on a calorie restriction. I'm fanatical when I'm counting my calories, but if I can't count, I don't sweat it, so I just accepted that my weight might go back up, which it did - up 700g last Wednesday.
I was determined to get back on track, but there was one last speedbump.. last Wednesday was also my birthday. one of my colleagues bought me a cupcake, and made me a little pot of a delicious (and terribly unhealthy) dip that he knows I like, and then there was another lovely dinner with my family, so I started afresh on Thursday, another 600g heavier than I'd been the day before.
I. Have. Killed. It. This. Week.
I weigh every day, and every day I've watched my weight get closer and closer to the PB I hit two weeks ago. this morning I was just 100g off it. tomorrow I WILL be under it, and will once again be the lightest I've been in my adult life. and it's so exciting. every morning when I hop on the scales I can think 'wow. I don't remember the last time I weighed that little!'

So, despite not having actually weighed myself yet, I'm already claiming the victory!

ok, now it's official!
I'm the lightest I've been in adult life, and tomorrow, when I have my official actual-weigh-in-that-counts ill be even lighter!
