Up

Well my weight has gone up since the last time I posted.  I was up to 173.2 lbs yesterday, today I’m back to 171.2 lbs.  Either way i need to get back down into the 160s.  So this is my back to it post.

Goal:  Get back into the 160s by next Monday. Fo’ shizzle.

It has been so beautiful lately.  Like ridiculously amazing for March.  I haven’t gone nuts and planted seeds, because that didn’t work out so well last year when we had the same kind of weather.  We have been spending a lot of time outdoors though.  We took the girls to the zoo last weekend.  Every day last week, Safi and I have been having fun doing stuff with different friends and family.

We’ve been doing a lot of barbecuing too, at least three times the last week.  We had my parents over for a bbq yesterday.  I’m ready for summer  now.  Today we played in the backyard and the plan is to go for a nice walk.  Thank God for the time change.  It doesn’t get dark here until 7:30pm now, which is such a welcome change from the 4:30 evenings we were having just a couple months ago.

So in all this soul searching I’ve been doing, I’ve come to the realization that whoever I am, whatever I am feeling, I will still be feeling it when I get down to 150lbs.  So, does that mean I stop trying? No, but its about being realistic about what is going to happen when I get there.  It helps me keep focused on the reality of weightloss.  Maybe I won’t make me happy, but it will make me fit in some smaller sized clothes, and boost the confidence a bit.  The bigger stuff, well I will still have to deal with that.  And I am, a little at a time.
