I didn’t realize it right away, but today I reached a milestone goal in my weight loss adventure. If you haven’t read my previous weight loss story, it’s here.
Anywho, now that you’re caught up on my weight loss journey I can get into this milestone!
This morning I weighed in at 134.5 pounds (or 61 kilograms), I logged it into my excel sheet (working to make one available for all my subscribers -YAY!!!), logged it into MyFitnessPal, and TwinBody (because I’m OCD and need to keep it up to date everywhere).
Eventually, I noticed on TwinBody that my goal weight was 135! Craziness! I set that goal ages ago, when I lost 40 pounds I didn’t realize I was only 5 pounds away from my first goal weight! To be fair, I aim to lose 1 pound a week, so 5 pounds = 5 weeks, which feels like forever.
Anyway! I’m literally dying of excitement that I hit this goal a little ahead of schedule (thanks to getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled)!
Cool, Meagan – What now? Another milestone?
Now, I’ve set another goal – lose 10 or 20 more pounds. I’m technically in the upper levels of what is considered a “healthy weight” for someone my size, I feel awesome, but I know I can do better.
I’m not even specifically looking for a certain number on the scale, but I want to look better. I don’t have some crazy image of being shredded, but I know I won’t disappear into thin air if I drop down to 115 to 125 pounds. I have about 13 weeks left before I graduate college, so ideally that means I’ll lose 13 pounds – which puts me around 122 pounds.
I’m not starving myself or being super strict during the holidays, though. I’ve managed to lose weight even while celebrating 2 Thanksgivings (one with my boyfriend’s mom and another with my family) thanks to the tips and tricks I talked about here. So I fully intend on eating whatever and however I want on Christmas Eve (because Hispanics do the big dinner on Christmas Eve – Noche Buena), and on New Years Eve.
We’ll see how this goes!!!
Great job, Meagan! I’m eager to go back and see the stages of your journey that go you here. 🤗
Thank you!!!
