Day 58 Extreme Accountability Challenge Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 43.4 pounds
85.6 pounds to go
Even when I was younger and thinner running was never my thing. It just seemed so boring to me. Especially long distances, stride after stride, what’s the point? Well I’m sure someone that loves running looks at it completely differently.
This process of losing 129 pounds, sometimes feels like what I imagine a marathon must feel like. I’m making amazing progress, not bragging, just saying, I’m dropping 3, 4, or 5 pounds every week. The weight is coming off fast. But the miles are long. I have to confess if it weren’t for the Extreme Accountability Challenge, I would have accepted a 20 or 30 pound weight loss and said “I did well, but I’m going back to eating whatever I want whenever I want.” That was how I used to think, that’s how you get to 304 pounds! My personal recipe for physical disaster.
Not this time, thanks to all of you that are posting your weight daily with me and for the countless others that comment, like, or just view these posts, it keeps me on course.
I have this hope, no this vision, that there will be countless others, that could not find a way to control their weight that will forever change because of what they see happening through this Extreme Accountability Challenge.
My prayer for you if you are like I was regarding eating, is that you will use this accountability to find life again, to be free from the addictive pull of overeating. Yep I said addictive. Food was my drug of choice for decades. Get well with us.
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
