Week #20

Just stopping by to post that I lost 2.4 pounds at the last weigh in. Taking me to total of 43.6.

I went to a surprise birthday party for my husbands grandmother who was turning 90!! There was a lot of his family who hasn't seen me in a long time. I can't believe how many compliments I received on how great I'm looking. One of his aunts even said to him 3 or 4 times how beautiful I was. I still can't believe it, especially since I don't feel like I see that.

If I look this great now, I wonder how amazing I'm going to look when I actually drop these extra 75 or so pounds that I still need to lose?!?

Well, it's been a month since I last posted, so I will do a "month in review".

I ended my last post before I went on vacation with a small gain. Yes, I was devastated by it and yes, I moved on. Even though I was pretty torn up about it, I didn't let it affect my will to keep going.

Weigh In #14 - (Right before vacation) - I lost a whopping 4.8 pounds! So, my "terrible" week, must have caught up with me and rewarded me right before vacation.

While on vacation I thought I was pretty good. I didn't journal. Which I was worried about, but for breakfast I pretty much had a Lite English Muffin everyday. For lunch, a turkey sandwich or wrap with an apple. We were so busy that I didn't even think much about snacking. Dinners I splurged and we ate out like 5 of the 8 nights, so I was worried about that. But, I did want to enjoy myself. Some of the nights I chose well and got a salad a couple times and then there were times that I all out enjoyed myself. We took long walks pretty much everyday. Two mornings I even got up early and took walks on the beach (absolutely beautiful)!! It was a great time and I didn't stress too much about weight loss or weight gain. I enjoyed myself and I believe it paid off!!

Weigh In #15 (Day after we returned from vacation) - I LOST 1.2 pounds!! I know, I was SHOCKED! But it was so great to know that WW was in the back of my mind and even without journaling, I was able to make some good decisions.

Weigh In #16 - Lost 1 pound.

Weigh In #17 - Maintained. While I was bummed about a week of maintaining, I was happy it wasn't a gain. I didn't go over my points, and didn't do much different, but maybe I was bloated or something. Who knows.

Weigh In #18 (This morning). Lost 3.4 pounds!! I'm excited to see a big number again. After quite a few weeks of seeing a pound or two it was great to have a nice week. It has re-charged me to work towards some new goals!!

My new goal is to lose 50 pounds by December 10th. That will be my 6 month mark with WW and I'd love to see me hit the 50 pound goal. That gives me 8 more weeks. And that calculates to about 1.1 pounds a week! A totally reach-able goal!!

So, that is my month in review. I'm still here, I'm still sticking to the plan and I'm still losing!! Yay!!
