I want to be the “Hot Girl”…

I guess I spoke too soon about 240…

Ok, I know that I have some issues with patience, and I realize my accountability in this month’s weight loss…I know that my body is extremely sensitive to sugar and does not react well with it…

Enough rambling. The scale moved this weekend!!!! YAAAYYY!!!

As of today, I’m down to 238. I’m almost 40 pounds down, and have 45 more to go to make goal weight. I have reached the halfway mark in six months!!! Wooo hooo!!!!

I have worked out everyday for the last seven days. I think that has helped also. I also know that this week is going to be a TOUGH one. We’re having our Thanksgiving dinner at work tomorrow (I’m making red velvet cake, collard greens, and spinach dip). Then there’s the regular Thanksgiving day activities…my plan is to load up on veggies and lean meat and have very small portions of things that are bad for me, like macaroni and cheese and cake. I also plan on working out while I’m in Arkansas, which is definitely going to be a task. I’m not really familiar with the gyms (no Ballys or LA fitness), so I am going to call the ones I find online and see if I can get some sort of a seven day membership because I’m really not relishing the idea of running in the cold.

Thanksgiving…definitely a challenge, but it can be done!

Til later,
Paula
