Committed and Feeling Good!

My calf muscles are SO sore from two straight days of jogging and other workouts. Taking a break today, and back at it tomorrow. BUT, I am doing consistently great with my caloric intake which is also a huge part of not only losing the weight I want, but also maintaining the weight I want once I get there again. What is my goal weight you ask?? 150-155 pounds. Right now I am 166 pounds. I got this!!! At one point after my reconstructive surgery I weighed 145 pounds. Which although I loved seeing a number that low (I mean what former obese girl wouldn't?) James and a few friends all expressed that I looked too thin... so I am thinking 150-155 is the better range to shoot for.

I can honestly say I am feeling a much stronger sense of commitment and determination right now than I have in over a year. Not sure what "clicked"... but glad it did. Maybe it was a certain number on the scale... or maybe it was seeing that the weight I put on was visible to me in my face and arms... but whatever it is I was NOT ok with it. All that hard work and also all the pain from surgeries will never be for nothing! I have a pic of "fat Eva" as my wallpaper on my phone just so I have a constant reminder. One day at a time people.. one day at a time.
