I'm over the moon about my loss this week. Not so much for the fact it was 8.5 lbs (3.86 kg), which is amazing anyway, but it's all the goals I achieved this week. I listed them on a blog the other week nowing that they were so close...anticipating how amazing I would feel when I achieved them... I didn't expect to achieve them all in the same day!!! I can't explain how amazing I feel!

I showed up at at group knowing I had had a good week, but doubting that it was enough to achieve them all. I'd as usual, been weighing myself every day, but somehow the math didn't work out right in my head and I figured i would get on the scales and have lost 4 or 5 pounds and be just short of dropping below 20 stone (280 lbs / 127 kg) and my 9 stone award, but at least acheive my 30% starting body weight goal, which honestly, would have been enough for me today.

Then when I got ont he scales and saw 19 stone 12.5 lbs (278.5 lbs / 126.33 kg), I couldn't believe it!! Embarrassingly, all I wanted to do was cry! My heart was racing away with pride and my emotions got the better of me. I walked outside and couldn't stop myself crying. I had just dropped below 20 stone (280 lbs / 127 kg)!?! I havent weigh as little as that in about 15 or 16 years. I composed myself and went and sat in group, which was great! We really have 1 of the best groups I've attended! We had a good few laughs too which helped me keep my emotions under control.

Goals achieved this week:
1. Eventually dropped under 20 stone (280 lbs / 127 kg)!
2. Got my 9 stone (126 lbs / 57.15 kg) award!
3. Lost 30% of my starting body weight, which also means im now 60% of the way to my target!
4. Acheived my 3 month old cycling target of an average speed of 15 mph (24 km/h). Set on my usual 10 mile (16 km) route that I have been doing for the last 3 months, so its not like I went looking for a long downhill and set it on that!
5. Acheived my 1 month old running target of running 5 km (3.11 miles) in less than 35 minutes. Thats less than 7 min/km! :)

Goals for this week:
1. Firstly and most importantly....I really really REALLY, dont want to gain next week. A maintain would be awesome...A small loss would be better!
2. Need to set out some new short term goals for Weightloss, Cycling and Running since I have achieved everything on my short term list of goals!

Happy Slimming! I feel amazing this week...way more amazing than I have felt all the other weeks I have posted here! :D:D:D:D A maintain next week would be awesome!
