At one point I had this post already written and ready to publish. All it was lacking was my weight picture. The original post was bitter. It displayed my frustration at eating right, exercising, and not losing any weight. I was sick and tired of it. It has been thirteen weeks and all I have to show for it is numbers on the scale that can’t make up their mind. Sometimes they are high and some days they are lower. They are not consistent. It sucks!
Fast forward to today. I was driving in my car and the word persevere popped into my head. My dictionary defines persevere as: to continue a course of action, ect. in spite of difficulty, opposition, etc.
Weight loss is not easy. It’s not easy eating healthy. It’s not easy to exercise especially on the days when I don’t feel like it. However, I have been consistent in meeting my goal. As a matter of fact, most of the time I have gone over my goal.
As frustrating as it can be, I have been committed to continuing this journey towards weight loss. I am so committed that week after week I meet my practical goal of exercise three times a week for at least 30 minutes. I blog about it and even post a picture of my weight. Believe me, it’s not easy posting a picture with large numbers on it.
Why do I do it? Because I’m committed. I signed up for this and I’m going to finish. I’m going to persevere even when it’s tough. I encourage you to join me in this endeavor, it’s not too late. Head over to Ragamuffin Soul and take the plunge.

You go girl!! :-). You’re certainly right…it’s not easy! If it were, we’d all look like Carlos and Heather.
I’ll take this slow approach and be grateful in the end. I’ve lost massive weight before and when you lose it fast, you have lots of excess skin to deal with. I’ll take my time and tone that skin and kill two birds, so to speak. Best of luck to you!! I will be continuing this journey long after RagamuffinTop ends. Keep posting and I’ll keep watching/reading!
