Back to the normal routine
As much as I love a break I do crave my routine. Today we’re back to school which means a much easier time sticking to diet/exercise. I finally got out of my funk from yesterday and am energized at the thought of working toward my goal.
This morning the scale read 273.5, I know some of that is from water retention but I’ll set that as my new start weight. My new short term goal is to be at 250 or below by the end of the school year. That’s 11 weeks to lose 23.5 pounds. Since I know some of this is water weight it’s basically 2 pounds a week which is doable. Other than my son’s birthday party in a couple of weeks our weekends are pretty empty which means it will be easier to stick to the plan. I bought myself a little notebook where I can plan my meals and track my exercise. I also took “before” pictures of myself in my sports bra and shorts. From the front I don’t look too bad but from the side…YIKES! I’m just going to store them on my computer for now but when I have some improvement to show I just might post them on here.
I’m glad for you that you’re back to your routine. I think your goal sounds attainable…especially with all the working out you do.
Thanks for the sweet comment!
Sounds like you’re back on track with everything. 23.5 lbs is definitely doable by the end of the school year. It’s great that you’ve taken the before pictures. I keep telling myself to do it, but haven’t yet. Just keep thinking of how great the “after” pictures are going to look
