I'm down now 48 lbs. Two lbs ahead of plan but I did it the HARD way with food poisoning. It's true when you don't eat you lose weight - go figure. I'm going to take advantage of my headstart into next week and continue to journal. I needed this little reminder that it's WHAT I eat and HOW much of what I ate that got me this way. I know I can't eat one can of soup or one baked potato a day for the rest of my life but in reality, I don't need to eat too much more than that. As a matter of fact, I've been perfectly fine all day on a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a can of sprite. I've even had enough energy to clean out the refrigerator, tons of laundry, tackle Leah's room and my room. I am starting to feel a little listless now; it's about 9:00 PM. I think I'll try one more bowl of soup and THAT'S IT.
I'm so close to my big 50 lbs goal. I'll be dancing and singing when I hit that number. You can't imagine what a huge milestone that is for me.
So, I need my team - mother daughter team - to help me through to this huge milestone.
I know we all slacked a bit, but the best thing is that we have not given up. Keep getting on that scale, keep being mindful of what and how much goes in your mouth. Try to squeeze in those workouts. WE know how to do it - JUST DO IT! It's been a little over 4 months since my journey began. I want to make it a whole year. Tough months ahead with summer flings, "steak on the lake" boat trips, then the holidays - we really need to encourage each other to stay strong and true to our original journey.
C'mon - I'm begging here!
