Butterflies and Rainbows

Yep, I’m on another honeymoon phase of my diet/weight loss journey and I’m loving every minute of it. Everything just seems to be coming together nicely.  Today is day 8 of being 100% on-plan.  I can’t remember the last time I stayed consistently on-plan for so long….maybe never.  I worked out for 6 days last week and I’m really seeing a big improvement in my stamina.  As an added bonus, I’m now wearing my smaller shirts and can almost wear my size 24 incentive jeans….granted, I can’t breath in them and I would probably cause permanent nerve damage if I wore them now…but, I can actually pull them up over my generous hips and button them over my equally generous belly!  Seeing the changes in my body really gives me the incentive to keep going.

I wish I fully understood how I ended up at this honeymoon stage again.  If I could figure that out, I’d be able to sail smoothly into my goal weight with no trouble.  I think it might have something to do with realizing that this year was  passing quickly and I hadn’t made as much progress as I expected.  I started off with a bang, then I hit a rough patch that lasted for way too long.  I have just under 3 months to really make a big difference, so I’m giving it 100%.  Also, joining the Biggest Loser challenge helps to keep me motivated.  And, I have that business trip and J’s field trip both in November.  I have to buy new clothes and I want to buy smaller sizes.
