Sometimes old habits are good habits. I'm going to start Weigh in Wednesdays again because there is something about posting my weight that keeps it real and keeps me motivated. Letting you follow my progress only motivates me, especially if you tell me I rock. :)
So back in December is when I decided it was time to change. I was up to 173. I think it's the heaviest I have been without having a bouncing 7.5 or 8.5 lb baby to blame the weight on. My heaviest was after having Cooper. I had a terrible pregnancy which left me at 218 lbs. Bleh. Moving forward....
Start : 12/09 = 173
Today : 3/3 = 166
Total loss = 7 lbs. gone forever
February was a rough month for me. I actually gained 3.5 lbs during that time period, but I'm moving forward. I have my head back on straight. My diet is wonderful and I'm going to start running, in addition to doing my P90X workouts. P90X was going great but it's been 2 weeks since I have done a workout with it. Craig left for a week, all hell broke loose and I caught a cold. I'm picking right back up where I left off though.
I'm not in any hurry to lose the weight, just as long as it's coming off. My goal date though is my 30th birthday, January 9, 2011. It just gives me something to look forward to. My motto is, "Slow and steady wins the race." I don't want to stress about it. I've tried that in the past and it doesn't work.
My 1st reward is to get highlights and lowlights when I get down to 155. 155 is 11 lbs away and a weight that I consider to be the top of where I feel comfortable. It's been a good 9 months since I had my hair done (not just cut). Then my next goal is 150, then 147, then 3 lbs at a time after that. The smallest I have been in my adult life was 147 in 2006. It's really hard for me to imagine what I will look like when I get fit. We'll see what happens. :)
So, stay tuned. More good things to come. :)
