Losing again
Yay, the scale is moving again and in the right direction. Last week I had gotten down to 285 (from 295) but Sunday morning I was up to 286.5. I had expected a gain because as a treat my hubby and I got pizza and ate it without the crust. Still low-carb but obviously higher in calories. This morning after I worked out I checked and I was down to 284.
After reading some of the other blogs I realize I should set some goals. I plan to lose 10 pounds a month by sticking to my low-carb diet and exercising 5 days a week, 4 days after school and 1 day on the weekend. With 2 weeks left in August I should be able to be down to 280 by Sept. 1st so here is where I plan to be by the following dates:
August 31–280
September 30–270
October 31–260
November 30–250
December 31st–240.
The last time I lost a bunch of weight I was down to 223 and in a size 16/18. I can’t wait to be there again. Knowing that I can essentially be there by Christmas is exciting. I know there will be struggles along the way but I am also excited because when school starts it should actually be easier because when I’m in a routine I do much better with my diet which has always been the hardest part for me.
My goal for today is to eat according to the plan. I have already worked out with the Firm but we have a family gathering tonight which is always a danger zone. I am bringing a side-dish that can actually work as an entire meal so I will eat that as well as my mom’s fresh veggies from the garden like cucumbers and tomatoes. I know tomatoes aren’t the lowest-carb veggie out there but I love them so much and they are good for you. I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!!
You WILL be successful. Your goals are realistic and sounds like you have all your ducks in a row. Good luck.
