Winning...

Just a quick update to share that the Tupperfit Club challenge is over, actually has been over for one week now. However, it has taken me a full week to be able to even write about this. first of all the facts... My team won! we took first place. I personally took first place in the overall competition, with the highest weight loss. During the 16 weeks I lost 42 pounds. Add to that the 5 pounds I lost when I first learned I had been selected to be in the club and on a team. This makes my overall weight loss 47 pounds. just 3 pounds away from that big huge number of 50! Next Tuesday there will be an all Associates meeting and HR has asked permission to share details of my loss and highlight me regarding the competition.

If you are not hearing a lot of excitement in this post regarding this you are correct. I find it more than a bit overwhelming.... I never in my mind would have believed this is where I would find myself. especially in something like this... a weight loss competition. The truth is I do not feel that I should be here. I honestly did not work out the hardest. or the longest. I did not follow a special diet... not really. However, I did have something that no one else did.... I had God on my side! LOL... the reality for me at least is that this was never about a number on the scale, it was never about depriving myself of the foods I love. It was never about being better than everyone else. It was about getting healthy. It was about seriously making changes in my life that will be a new part of my life for the rest of my life. I will blog more on the actual changes I did make in another entry to this blog. and you can be sure that there will be more than one. Also remember this journey is far from over for me. I am essentially at the half way point in my weight loss journey. But still a long way from the end of my "journey" to become the woman God wants me to be. With lots of lessons still to be learned and lots of me to still uncover.
