So I weighed myself again. I have lost another 2.8 pounds!
I never thought this would be possible for me because every time I've ever tried I have always given up almost instantly. I truly think that it has a lot to do with the fact that I have a husband and child now. I want to be around for them. I want to be able watch my step son become an adult and graduate and get married. I want to have a long happy life with the man I love.
Those two are the only people I truly have in my life 100% and I want to do this for me yes, but I really want to do it to last to see my family grow and expand.
So my total update: 14.6 pounds lost in my first 38 days of my new plan of action. Still doing THRIVE, doing light exercises (until my body can handle more figorous ones) and drinking nothing but water. My goal by Christmas is to hit 20 pounds lost. I have 5.4 more pounds to go and I know I can do this!!
I've already started writing out a New Year's Resolution too. Yes, It's very cliche' and no one sticks to them, including me. But by then I would have done this for 9 weeks, which as I've said is the longest I've ever stuck to weight loss.
I feel like I am kickin these pounds' butts and everytime the scale is lower it makes me that much more excited about this!

As far as the results.. They are amazing! I have energy throughout the whole day! I don't feel groggy and lazy. I don't crave junk food, I haven't had a mountain dew in 50 days, and I was addicted to it. I crave water, and now drink a lot of it! I also don't want junk food, it's just not appetizing to the body because the body is getting the nutrition it needs to be full and satisfied. It makes you think more clear. It also helps with sleep. I'm actually able to fall asleep and after 8 hours I get up without an alarm and feel good. It helps with aches and pains too.
I'm not a spokesperson or anything, actually a huge critic. But I will say Thrive is changing my life for the better. I actually feel good about myself. I'm 385 pounds.. but when I started I was 400. I needed help to get me in the right direction and Thrive was my start!
If you want you can message me and I can give you my website if you want to look into it. Or ask me questions. I just know I went from being a completely unmotivated, lazy, only left the house to go to work, and slept or watched tv when I was home and now I run errands, go grocery shopping, go to work and I do it all smiling! It's a good feeling.
