Good morning ladies! I'm a little late to the party, but mind if I join in?
My Labor Day goal is twofold.
1: Reach my ultimate goal of 145.
This is the easy part. I'm already at 146, and seeing as how I'm only .7 pounds away and I've been on a whoosh from shedding two and a half weeks of water recently, I'm hoping to see it in the next couple of days. Heck, I might actually already be there and the scale just hasn't caught up!
2:
Stay within two pounds of 145 from now until Labor Day (and beyond).
See, now this is the hard part. I have to learn to maintain now. My way of eating is a lifestyle change as opposed to a diet, and I'm not planning on making changes to it other than possibly "let myself have a few more treats than I am now, but still in moderation." I'm going to have to add more calories to my day somehow to maintain at 145, without reverting back to old habits and just gaining everything back. I mean,
how?
That'll probably be moot anyway, because I'm moving back to the States in 19 days (but who's counting?), into a
very different environment, and I am fully expecting it to throw all these healthy habits I've been trying to learn out of whack. I'm going to need to adjust and keep myself motivated to stay active and eating well in a situation that is starkly different in just about every way from what it is now. Different living situation, different foods available, different job, different
everything. Frankly, it has me a little scared. I'm sure I can do it though! *determined face*
Okay, that's it. Thanks for sticking with me through that novel. Sorry, I tend to be wordy. Looking forward to seeing all of us reach our goals by Labor Day!
