Sprinting down the home stretch

I have 18 days left in this weight loss competition. I can not believe how much I have changed in two months. It is remarkable! I am happier and healthier, but I would have said that I was those things in February before I started. 
It is true, this is my wish!
It is interesting to be on this side, looking back, I had no reference for what "healthy" really meant. (I guess I am still trying to figure that out as it seems to change). I know that two months ago I thought of myself as healthy, and I was in comparison to the me from years earlier, but today I am lighter, faster and stronger.

I still struggle with making consistently healthy nutrition choices, but it is getting easier. I have been able to stop mindless snacking, now it is purely a conscious decision what and when I eat. I have had an amazing realization that I will need to continue moving my body in some way for at least an hour every single day for the rest of my life. I have worked so hard to get to this healthy place, I don't ever want to return to the past.

We had our last group weigh in and work out on Saturday. I lost 2 lbs, and now am down 12 lbs in 10 weeks. I had hoped for more, but it is a journey and any loss is fantastic. I will not stop just because Dare to Lose comes to an end. I am going to miss my group workouts. They go a long way to keeping me accountable and motivated. I have made true friends in my fellow competitors and hope to keep in touch long after this is finished.

I am trying to stay focused on this last three weeks, and trying to make the most of all the tools available to me. I am still setting my goals high, and I hope to lose 6 more lbs before this is all said and done. I think being down 18 lbs in 13 would be fantastic! Wish me luck.
