Okay, okay... well ladies I've been AWOL for a good 7 weeks now. I fell HORRIBLY Off Plan and it's taken me a while to get my *ss off the ground, dust off and re-commit to eating well again. Many of you probably don't even know who I am I've been gone so long! Well, July 29th was my birthday so of course I used the occasion to justify going off plan for pretty much the whole month of July... Then vacations and August rolled around with all it's parties and bar-b-ques, festivals... and I kept telling myself that "techinically" it was still my "birthday month" given I was within a MONTH of my birthday (can you believe the lies we tell ourselves? And that we go along with them willingly? I mean, I'm an educated woman and I can convince myself of that crap?)
So my original goal was to be at 155 by Thanksgiving. Well, given that I'm still 182. Tthankfully (and by the grace of God) I didn't gain a gazillion pound (although the way I ate, I can't imagine How I didn't!) I only gained about a pound. Phew! I wasn't even weighing myself (too terrified!!)
So now my goal is to lose 15 lbs by Thanksgiving. I'm dreading Halloween (my favorite holiday) as I usually stock up on piles of candy early in October and munch my way through it until the little beggars come along (at which point I barely have enough for THEM!)
Well, I'm back ladies and could use some moral support. Just coming back and posting makes me feel a bit better. I'm going to go catch up (as much as I can having been gone so long!) Thanks for listening to my confession!
