I’ve made some more progress…down to 156.6 and I’ve been resisting temptation, but I have a planned off-plan-ish weekend coming up. I won’t overeat, but I know, for example, I will be having pizza one night and gyros one night in my hometown as well as a family reunion potluck. I have become pretty good at watching portions and listening to my body that way, so no worries there. I do plan to keep my exercise going as normal which I’ve become good at on out-of-town trips as well. I guess I just like to remind myself how to handle things so it’s no big deal to go “back home” with family and do the right things without depriving myself. I only get back there maybe 4 times a year, so it’s defintely a special occassion and I’m very much looking forward to it!
Today’s weigh-in was awesome for me! I hit a new decade and with it, I passed my 20% and 40# loss marks!!! WOO HOO!! Go me! I am now 158.4 which is incredible since at the beginning it seemed nearly unreachable being that I haven’t weighed this little in about 13 years. Now, I’m working on losing “college weight”…oh back in the glory days when I ate outrageous amounts of food and still looked pretty darn good! Well, I am SO SO thrilled to see the 150’s. I think I will go bask in the glow for a few minutes!
Went on vacation and had a blast. One of the best parts was I came back without gaining any weight. Quite an accomplishment since I only cooked 3 of the meals I ate during the week+. The rest were served by other family members or at a restaurant. I impressed myself by making mostly good choices and staying very active. I am on the edge of a new “decade” still, but i know it’ll be in the next day or two that I’ll get into the 150’s. Haven’t been there since before the honeymoon!
