Hump Day already, aw man. Where does the time go?
Welcome, ma! It has also taken me months to lose 15 lbs. Since the beginning of the year, to be exact. I have changed some stuff up, so for the last couple of months I have been losing again...
Chelsey - yay! 5'6" is a good height
Are you going to keep the 120 goal? My goal for now is 129 and if I ever get there I'll see if I want to try harder to go lower. I was 118-120 until I was 32 or so but I'm not sure that I can go that low any more. The mid-30s has done crazy stuff to my metabolism.
Andrea - you got to enjoy international culinary delights AND the resulting weight is falling off? Way to go! That's what it's all about.
I just found out I am going to visit some family at the end of October. They haven't seen me in months, so I have lost some weight and am more toned. Like someone posted in another thread, I hope they notice! I have some very fit relatives and I want to be able to go running or go to kick-boxing classes with them. Time to kick it up a notch for the next two weeks! My goal for the end of the month was to be @ 135 lbs. Today I'm @ 136.6, so it's possible. I neeeeeeeed to start running again. The inertia is so hard to overcome. Usually once I get started, I can do it regularly.
I do have to say that I am really worried about food choices when I visit my family. Some of them may be fit, but they do NOT eat well at all. When I visit, it seems like I am always starving (trying not to indulge) or pigging out ('cause I can't control myself once I start). UGH. I will have to have a plan in place for sure... it was just so frickin' hard to lose the last 5 lbs and I know from experience that I can put that back on in a week when I am out of my own environment. And it DOESN'T come off immediately for me, sadly. Anyway, like I said, I'll have a plan in place. And then focus on enjoying seeing my family
Later, feathers!
