I got on the scale this morning and found that I had lost 7 pounds since last Sunday. I should have been ecstatic, encouraged, excited...something. But I was rather blasé about it. I've been hovering in the 140 to 150-something range for so long that I am slowly losing interest in this whole process. This is not good! In fact, it's down right dangerous. So I started going through some old photos...trying to remind myself of how bad I use to look and will surely look again if I'm not careful. 7 pounds is a big deal. I have to find the motivation to keep pushing myself until I reach my goal. I don't want to go back...God knows I don't. The holidays and winter months are fast approaching. Losing interest now will make it too easy for me to relapse and go back to looking like my former unhealthy self. I have to keep reciting the following scripture from 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The old me would have given up and accepted 150 pounds. But I have become new! I won't stop until I reach my goal of 135 pounds.
I can, I will, I must reach 135!

My goal for the upcoming week is to keep walking. The fact that I've started moving again has obviously helped. I plan on increasing the lengths of my walks and try to start jogging again.
Thanks for reading and have a better than blessed day!
Always,
Blaque
