Every day at work I have certain expectations. I track my productivity and know that if I hit a certain number of quotes then I will be able to sell a certain number of policies. The best days, however, are the ones when I exceed those expectations. The days when I make my quotes, but I sell above and beyond what I would be expected to sell based on those quotes. I know you are wondering why I'm talking about expectations on my weigh in post, but trust me it will make perfect sense in just a moment.
This past week I have made sure to follow my processes of staying around 1500 calories/day and spending forty minutes on the bike every day. I knew that if I could do that, then I would meet my expectations and lose three to four pounds. I am happy to report that not only did I lose those three to four, but over four more. That's right folks, I lost another 8.4 lbs. this week. This brings my total weight loss to 40.2 lbs with me weighing an even 326 lbs. After last week only having lost 1.4 lbs., I was really hoping to drop a lot this week. The great thing is that I made up for last week and I did it healthily.
I'm really starting to enjoy this process. I know that more weeks of one or two pound losses are still ahead. I know that those weeks will be tough both mentally and emotionally. It is all part of the journey. That's why I have to celebrate weeks like this past one. I thank God for grace to continue on this journey and pray that I won't stop. I appreciate all of you who have been following along. It means a lot to know that I am being held accountable to complete this. Seven weeks down, and I've lost a fourth of my butter half.
Calories were great today. I got to eat a delicious grilled pork lunch with carrots and grapes. Bekah made an awesome orzo with chicken and veggies for dinner. I watched Creed while I biked and didn't even realize I was over forty minutes tonight. Another day down. Now for some shuteye.
