Great news is it's slowly happening. Very very very slowly.
Which is good. Slow weight loss is although not as exciting as a huge fast result better in the long run. Your less likely to gain it all back. Knowing this it's helped me remain patient during the long lulls in one "weight category". AKA 170's 160's 150's ......
I am super happy to announce I am out of the 150's into the 140's!!!
Now mind you just years ago the thought of being 148 would make me cry!! Now I feel like strutting a bit.
Just a little bit though. I don't wanna jinx myself.
I am slowly creeping toward my goal by end of year of 130. Not my pre-baby weight but Hey I'm an old lady now ;o) I don't need to be a Skinny Minnie anymore.
Thanks to my sweet ones I have Mother curves and I plan to ROCK them! I feel glad for my additions just with a few adjustments. I just have to make it through the holidays. There is some really really big weaknesses heading my way.
Or one of my most favorite holidays.. Thanksgiving... oh My God. I love to cook and eat it.
Then Christmas always promises parties, food and sweets oh my.
Then it's time for the Grand Finale..... I know I can do it. I look forward to treating myself with something cute and skinny to wear.

ReplyDeleteI hit a major plateau right there in the 150's & haven't budged. I really need to get back on track! My goal is 145 so I don't have much more to lose...if only I can handle the baking and goodness that's coming our way...
YOU CAN DO IT!!! You know how I know this? BECAUSE YOU ROCK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the kids going back to school because its means I get to actually go to the gym in the mornings. I can finally start doing more than trying to watch what I eat.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteHere's a thought that helps me get through the hard times.
ReplyDeleteOverindulgence happens, it will always happen, but it doesn't mean that you have failed at your goal. You just need to pick up the next day and move on, and if you fail that day, pick up the next day.
The reason a lot of people get off the rails is because they put to much pressure on themselves not to cave, that when they do cave, they cave big. So yeah, if you end up eating 6 kit kats in a night, beat yourself up a little bit, and then start over tomorrow. 6 kit kats = 1200 calories, or about 1/3 of a pound. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, you can undo that in about 3 days of clean eating and exercise. The problem is the big patterns, not the occasional missteps.
