wednesday weigh in
I have officially lost 50 lbs! (50.6 to be exact)
half way there
Something that seemed to come at the right time to encourage me today was watching this interview on The Colbert Report with Francis Collins (Director of the National Institutes of Health) about the upcoming HBO series documentary The Weight of the Nation. At one point in the interview he pulls out a replica of 5 lbs of fat. He says he lost 6 of those. I thought to myself… I have lost 9 and a half of those!!! ALMOST 10!!! Holy SHIT!!!!
6 weeks from now you will wish you had started today :)
Fact: Thinking about going to the gym burns between 0 and 0 calories.
