Goal Weight: 200 lbs. Current Weight 215 lbs.
My shoeless feet stood on the scale and my shirt sat on the floor. It was the moment of truth and Coach Clark squinted at the digital readout. This moment was the product of numerous burpees, pushups, sit-ups, bear crawls and miles run. I could almost taste the better food I had been eating (no, I wasn’t about to yak). Clark called out the number:
Ten pounds lost.
I started at 225 lbs. and now I weighed 215 lbs. My added Christmas weight was now gone. I had my victory. The victory I needed to propel me to my next victory. And the next.
A grin grew across my thinner face. And I felt a sense of accomplishment.
This time around, I’m losing weight for the right reasons. I’m making a life choice and today was a big step in the right direction.
I stepped off the scale and into the rest of my healthier life. My goal for the next two weeks is five pounds.
