Ready to get my butt back on the wagon after a terrible September! only down 4 lbs. for the month (and most of that was UP and Down over and over the same few pounds!) where usually I average 10-12 lbs... its my own fault though and there's nowhere to go from here but D O W N !!!! First October WI tomorrow morning... been doing OK this week- wish me luck!

a loss of 3.3 for the week (and also the month haha) puts me back to my lowest weight since i started (and reached almost 2 months ago! ugh). everything from here on out is *new* loss and every new pound gone will be my lowest weight ever as an adult. THAT'S exciting to me! i'm gonna work hard to get out of the 240s this month. 239.9 is my goal for halloween morning!
potential road blocks: my birthday is this month. and there's an out of town event the weekend before halloween. both of which will tempt me to be off plan. and that's okay! i've told myself i'm allowed 3 days off plan per month, as long as they are PLANNED off-plan days (does that make sense?) and not going off plan just because i'm snacky or depressed and binge on a whole bag of fun size snickers, or a whole box of cookies.
anyway, tonight's the cook out, so i'm keeping it SUPER light all day (as i do on fridays) and limit myself to one small paper plate of food tonight, and nibble off of the hubby's dessert plate. no beer, just water for me tonight. hopefully i can continue to show losses. i'd hate to think this is my rubber weight, and every time i hit it i bounce back up! i've done it twice now.
Mandy I have complete faith in you, and this is NOT going to be your rubber weight. Wanna know why, huh huh huh??? Because we're going to be right here to support you. I think the decision to pass on the beer tonight, is in itself an accomplishment. Chug that water away! Maybe see if you can even resist the temptation to nibble off hubby's dessert plate?
Side note: I love all of us October babies! I've counted 4 so far, any more?!
My September Stats: SW = 263.6; CW = 254.0 (after using the facilities this morning, I lost .2 lbs, so I'm taking it!!) for a September loss of 9.6 pounds! I'll take it, even though I was hoping for 11.
I think LGW posted this phrase earlier, and it fits my current mindset perfectly: I'm not where I want to be, but I'm definitely not where I used to be. LOVE IT!
My October goal is to lose 10 pounds, so that would bring me to 244.0 by October 31st.
Starting C25K on 10/10 will definitely help me stay on track, I do believe!
Good luck to everyone in meeting your goals!! I know we'll all be here to support one another, which makes a HUGE difference. If anyone needs any support, wants to chat, or just in need of a motivational kick in the rear-end, hit me up here or on FB. Lord knows I need it too sometimes!
Finally bit the bullet and went to the doctor you guys. I usually don't do that, but this was going on far too long. So I've got 10 days of antibiotics and some sudafed and I'll be right as rain.
I'll be back on the losing side of things soon, and can't believe I've managed to continue running through this illness. That's a little intense Amanda....
I may go ahead and put a pause on C25K until I recover.
So me in all my genius just realized something. For the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been sick and had no appetite so ate little more than soup a d broth.
No wonder I'm gaining now, I'm actually eating solids regulay and eating a healthy calorie amount. Duh.
I suspect I'll gain for the next few days realistically but it makes sense to me why now. All the more reason to keep on track.
Hey ladies, I didn't WI this morning, I was SO tired this morning... never a good thing for a WI. I'll get my numbers tomorrow, I know I didn't hit my goal for September, but that's because of the running - otherwise I had hit it! I'm so so completely exhausted tonight.. no personals Christmas hit today at work - which means stock up to my eyeballs! I'm going to go have a huge glass of water and watch a movie with the bf..
Thanks Huzzahforska, I need all the luck I can get ... I truly hope this month is better
