Today was such a great day!!!!!! Why, you ask? I’m super happy because I have been waiting to get on the scale and see a certain number again. I know numbers/weight is not everything, but still. I used to be REALLY overdramatic about the scale number in 2009, but that was because I was a newb to weight loss and dealing with the ups and downs. However, 3ish years of health issues that made my weight go up helped me learn to cope with numbers on the scale. My goal in 2009 was to get to 140 … and I did that after 11 months and 16 days in December 2009. However, when my health started to go downhill my weight (I had gotten down to 135 and was wanting to get to 130) only went up, up, up. The lowest I have gotten since then was 141 when I did the juice fast back in June 2011, BUT that didn’t last because my weight went right back up. The HCG program I went on in February of this year, until early last month helped me lose 20 pounds and down to 142!!!!!! I’ve had some fluctuations because I know my body is still adjusting to the T3 meds and it’s gonna be a looooooong while to build it up completely, along with building my iron stores too, so I’ve accepted whatever happens will happen with my weight. It seems when I don’t over exert and let the T3 build then my weight and body fat go down. Got down to 141 and then over exerted and stalled.

I WOKE UP TO SEE 140 ON THE SCALE THIS MORNING and I am just so overjoyed after the battle I fought in 2009 to get to 140 and to finally see that number again? MEANS EVERYTHING. I know I will get to my ultimate goal weight and I will work on being as fit as I want to be. I’m so happy and SO THANKFUL!!!

Also, to add to today’s awesomeness? I bought a GAME OF THRONES t-shirt!!!!! *squeeeee*
