FINALLY!

Posted renewme on July 20th, 2008 | Filed under General

Well,  went to a WW meeting yesterday morning, and I FINALLY broke into the 170’s.  I’ve been hovering just above 180 for well over a month now.  My total weight loss is now 30 lbs, leaving me at 178.8!  I don’t think I’ve been in the 170’s since shorlty after ds # 1 was born in  ‘98.   It was right after he was born and I was breastfeeding that I lost about 50 lbs without even trying.  I gradually put it all back on after he weaned. 

178.8 also means I am over the half way mark to goal.  29.4 lbs was half way, so just barely over, but excited none the less. 

The end of this week is going to be a challenge.  We are going out of town and will be staying at my mom and dads Thurs. and Fri night.  Even though, my mom is diabetic and needs to be watching what she eats, there is alway a jar of M&Ms on the table, and lots of chips and other junk.  The past 2x we’ve gone, I’ve done good to start, but have given in to the temptation by the time we leave.  I hope I can be stronger this time.  I was telling dh I either need to bring some fruit and veggies along, or go to the grocery store after we arrive.  Hopefully that will help me stay on track.  I need to come up with some coping strategies also for the tempting junk that will be in front of me the whole time.  Aside from food, I think exercise will be easy to keep up with.  My parents have a stationary bike and a weight system.  There is also a very nice walking path close to their home.  I just need to make the time to actually do it!  I’d like to get through the weekend without having gained anything!  That is my goal.  To not gain, and it will be a pleasant surprise if I actually lose!
