#noexcuses Week 16!!!!!

IT IS HERE!!!!

Last week's gain was a total fluke considering on Sunday
my weight went right back down and was actually
.2 down from the previous week. Just goes to show that
the scale doesn't always tell the truth! 

WEEK 16

Although it's not actually here because my FINAL weigh in isn't until Monday morning so I still have 2 more days.

These 16 weeks have been pretty amazing. When I set my end of challenge goal, I don't think I really believed that I would actually hit that "A" goal. I'm pretty sure the whole reason why I came up with an "A" goal and a "B" goal was because I didn't really think that "A" goal was going to happen. I am now 2 days away from that final weigh in and am pretty positive that I will hit that "A" goal.

So let's review: my "A" goal was 175 and my "B" goal was 180. Basically the point was that I'd be happy with anything between 175 and 180. My goals are based on my home scale so I usually add about a pound for the Living Lean scale since I have to account for wearing clothes 😏So, if the LL scale reads 176 or below on Monday I will have officially hit my "A" goal. And really, if the scale doesn't show the number I want to see on Monday the world will not actually come to an end. There have been so many NSV's over these last 16 weeks that the number truly doesn't matter quite as much. Of course when the scale does show me what I want to see I will be absolutely ecstatic!

Since it is now May, I also need to update my monthly weigh in calendar. I am happy that I was able to drop another 8.2 pounds during the month of April. It's no 14.6 like I dropped in April last year, but it's not nothing! It's also 4 months in a row of losing weight, which is more than I could say for last year so that's something.

The number on the scale is one thing; but how I've been feeling lately is something else entirely. The things I have been doing in the gym are absolutely amazing me. I have been feeling so lean lately and that is a great feeling.

Last Sunday when I was getting ready to go to the kids' concerts I was feeling very slim so I just had to take a pic. Numbers are great and I am such a numbers person, but these are the things that really matter.

Two more days and this chapter of my journey will come to a close. Obviously that doesn't mean I'm done or I'm stopping. It just means a new chapter starts. And this new chapter will start with a champagne toast at the #noexcuses Lifestyle Challenge awards ceremony on Wednesday!

I will update you all next week with my official 16 week results!
