I was hoping to avoid that this month but it's already started and it's just the second day of the month. Gonna have to drink some extra water today!
I said all of that to say, I've spent a lot of time feeling like I am spinning my wheels (even though the overall accomplishment is good) so it's been a bit hard to determine what my goals will be....outside of the next 5 pounds. BUT, I am hoping to be at 235 for Christmas. That's 21.4 lbs, somewhat ambitious, but I am going to try my best!
I just came back and saw this that I posted just over a month ago. I like to do this on days that I am down about what I am seeing on the scales. My issue today is TOM. I was up 3.4 lbs from Sunday morning to Monday morning but today (Tuesday) I dropped back town 2.0 lbs. That means I'm still up 1.4 BUT with TOM, I should see a whoosh in a few days and hopefully see a losing trend like I was experiencing BEFORE TOM interrupted it.
The reason that I have gotten so much encouragement from this post is that I was setting my AMBITIOUS Christmas goal at 235 and....even with the bloat from TOM, I am at 241.0....I was at 239.6 when TOM started. Today, less than 6 weeks after this post, I am down 15.4 lbs.
I CAN DO THIS!!!
