It always seems that when I hit a 40 pound weightloss, I stall out. I get comfortable with where I am and slip up too often. Usually losing 40 pounds takes 2 rounds of hardcore dieting for me. This time I've lost 40 pounds in a row. Once I hit 40 I kept gaining and losing the same 2 pounds for almost a month. I planned on this. My goal was to win my office's biggest loser contest and buy a FitBit Charge HR at this precise moment. Last week I did and I am not officially down 41.4 pounds. That's eating around 1,500-2,000 calories a day, killing it with the steps and workouts. I feel like I have new momentum to drop the next 40 pounds. I'm a pound away from being my lightest weight since college, but even then I wasn't in the shape I am now. I'm lifting more than I've ever been able to, and running longer and further than I could in high school. Today I have to run for 8 minutes straight twice, separated by a 5 minute walk. This would have terrified me last month, but I've been thinking about it excitedly all day. The true test will be Friday when I have to run for 20 minutes straight. We'll see. I apparently got 4.5 hours of sleep last night because it took me 3 hours to fall asleep, but I'm not feeling it yet!
