I lost the weight I had gained from my last weigh in, plus more. Super stoked about that. However, what I didn't want was to go and be disappointed in the number I saw. This challenge was purely weight loss, they didn't take any other measurements and I KNOW that I have lost inches and gained muscle.
I don't want to put importance on the number on the scale. I do have a goal weight but what is more important to me is being healthy and liking how I look, not how much I weigh.
I honestly felt like I wasn't going to "win" the grande prize because I didn't lose that much. So I just opted out. At first I was really upset at myself, thinking I gave up. This is not the case, I still have my goals. I don't need to win a challenge to know that I have done well. I have a scale at home and I can see my weight loss at home. I don't need a prize for losing weight.
I am thankful for starting the challenge though. It got my butt in gear. It was something that I needed to help me really jump start my health journey. I had been trying and couldn't get the gusto to just do it. Well, this helped me and I am thankful for that. I have a lot to learn still, more weight to lose and more muscle to gain.

WITH clothes on, you can't see a huge difference, but trust me there is one ;) I am really proud of myself. I'm a busy momma and making time to take care of myself has been very difficult, but being healthy for myself and my boys is really important to me.
Here's to a healthy, happy me!
