Becky's Journey to Thin - WEEK 4

I cannot believe I have made it through 4 weeks of my Transformation Journey.  I took a body comp today and have lost 1.69% of fat!  Yahoo!  Total weight lost is 8 lbs and, I have to tell you, I FEEL GREAT!! 

I have stuck pretty close to the diet of lean protein and high vegetables.  Only here and there have I let myself indulge. 

My kids see a difference too!  Tori said that I looked healthy.  I asked her what she meant. And she said, "I don't know, you just look happy.  Are you happy?"  "Yep!"  I answered.  I feel good and I am happier than I was 4 weeks ago.  It is starting to have a trickle down effect on the rest of my life.

For those of you new to this blog, I started a seperate blog on getting fit.  I hit an all-time wieght (just shy of my delivery wieght of my second baby) and realized that at 34 I better get this weight down before I get much older.

In the process, I have found that I need to set time aside for me.  I have some pretty significant obligations to others such as kids, home, work, this website - but I have to take care of me first if I want to be efficient at any other tasks.  Here is the link to that other blog - Becky's Journey to Thin

What was all the whining for?

Some of you have been following me on my journey to thin.  Orignally I sent the link to friends and family.  It is now week 3 and I am ready to share the link with the readers at MyFamilyCompass.com. I guess it was a matter of pride.  I was fearful of sharing the photos and body percentages.  Afraid of your judgement.  But I am over it.  I don't look any different but BOY DO I FEEL DIFFERENT!!  I feel like my goals are not that far fetched after all.  I really have the belief that come week 12, I will rock my photo shoot and accomplish all my goals!!

It has not been all that easy but it is already week 3 and I am wondering what all the wimpering for?

The proof is in the puddin' - Becky Driscoll

Today, I have begun a new journey.  No.  Not a journey – an expedition.  I have it all mapped out.  I have considered each route, and believe I have the best one laid out. I acquired the appropriate gear to make it a little easier going.  I have been so thorough, I even considered what to eat along the way. Success means a passage of immense symbolic significance.  Join me each Monday, as I share my journal of triumphs and challenges along the way to losing 25 lbs of body fat and reclaiming my wardrobe!
