So 18 weeks have gone by...our wellness challenge is over and here I am 35.5 lbs (about 16.1kg) lighter! Yahooooooooo!
This is my progress card:
My current weight (this morning) is 133lbs ( ~60.5kg)!!! I ended up taking the top female place by % weight loss and second all around. I have no idea how it happened it to be honest, but I stuck with my diet plan and worked out 3 times a week and the pounds kept on coming off! I did have my cheat days (plenty of them) but it's was ok, as long as I woke up the next day with the same goal in my mind and reset to succeed!
So I took my lovely Gabriel to the finale to celebrate because he truly was my biggest fan and supporter! Every time I would try to snick out a cookie or piece a chocolate from him he'd say "mama, remember your wellness challenge!" :)
Here are some of the pictures from Monday night:
I must say, this was the most amazing and one of a kind journey I have been part of. I went in, not having the slightest idea what to expect, and boy was I in for a big surprise! I met a lot of people and made some great friends! I reached my goal way ahead of time and went beyond it by 15lbs. I love working out now, I am generally happier and healthier and I hope I make people around me happy and healthy as well!
I will certainly return next year and I do hope I get to join the running team and run a 5k or two ;)
I would like to give a big shout out to my loving husband who woke up Saturday mornings early enough after an all-nighter at work, to watch the baby so I could go to my class. Also a big big thank you and multumesc to my beautiful and gorgeous mother (Maricic) who was here for two months and helped us tremendously. Her little two hands kept on working non-stop! Also a big thanks to my other fans who kept asking and encouraging me along the way, Elena, Sandra, Camille, Sylvia, Raluca and Lita!
So long. I will be back with more yummy recipes and healthy tips!
