As Promised…

October 11, 2013 by Leah Stirewalt 3 Comments

scaleI’m not going to waste many words…simply put, let’s cut to the chase.

If you stopped by here on Wednesday and read what God’s been doing through me regarding my health, then you know I promised to come back today and share the results from yesterday’s weigh-in.

Friends – I had a phenomenal week! I lost 5.6 pounds, bringing my total to 24.6 pounds GONE in 5 weeks!

I can’t tell you how stunned I was to read that result on the infamous scale. I did absolutely nothing different the week before when I lost less and the week before that when I lost even less. But…that’s the finicky-ness of weight loss! I could come back next week reporting a gain of a pound for no logical reason at all.

I’ve learned that our bodies are constantly changing and adapting to what we’re putting into it. I guess it’s getting used to my new “habits”.

Regardless, I’m one happy gal! I’ve had many “non-scale victories” (loose clothing, loss of 7 inches, etc.), but it’s still nice to see results on the scale too.

Thanks for all of your support! I’ll continue to keep you updated as I travel this journey to optimal health!

    Congratulations, Leah! I know how hard it its to lose weight – I can’t get the scale to budge despite very healthy eating. Please share your weight loss ‘secrets’ with me!

Meet Leah

Leah StirewaltI became "twice widowed" when my beloved prince, Joel, went to his Heavenly home after a brief and sudden illness on February 12, 2017. I’m in a place of shock and devastation, but I intend to use this format to journal my second widow journey, much like I did my first. It’s my open journal, my electronic oasis, and it’s often the place I find true healing as I allow myself to “come clean” with my feelings. Read More...
