Welcome to Weight Loss Wednesday!
This week's topic is….
What keeps you going when you want to quit? Is it a friend who encourages you? A picure of yourself that you despise? A dress that you want to wear someday? Or a scripture that inspires you?
Since this is my blog & I can be completely honest, I have to tell you…
I strongly dislike working out!
Growing up I was always a bookworm nerdy kind of kid. I would much rather be inside curled up with a good book than outside playing. I was always the last girl to get picked for any team in PE class. I never played any sports in high school.
Recently this has starting plaguing my weight loss journey. As much as I usually enjoy walking as a form of exercise, it has started to really drain me. I have no desire to go walking. And when I do go, I don't have the stamina to walk for very long.
To be completely honest, I'd really rather give up on the whole working out thing.
I know I can't. I know that in order to lose weight, I need to be moving more.
And YOU motivate me to keep going. Knowing that every week I have to come report to you how I am doing with my weight loss journey keeps me accountable. If it weren't for YOU, I'm afraid I probably would have given up a long time ago.
But we all know what????
Quitting is not an option!
So I've started looking for other workouts. I went through the fitness programs on Netflix and picked out several to try. As I tried to find one I could do this morning, I was reminded of how uncoordinated I am. Finally on the 3rd try, I found one I could partially do…without killing myself.
Now for some exciting news…
I lost 3.8 lbs!!!!
That is a total of 19.4 lbs lost.
And even more exciting?!?!
I passed my 10% goal!!!!!
Very exciting!!!
A great big thank YOU for being my motivation!
I pray continued blessings in your weight loss journey! May you remember the words of Paul…
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

Yay! Congratulations on such a great weight-loss week and hitting such an important milestone!
Awesome job!!! How great does that 10% feel??!!! I know how encouraging that goal feels!
Keep up the great work, and the search for the "perfect" workout…I know I have a tough time finding exercise I actually enjoy. Bike riding has become a choice because it is something I do with the whole family(however it would be more fun if my bike seat didn't hurt my backside)
