Wow, okay, the new motivation really seemed to work for me this week. I lost 4.8 pounds this week! There is no way I thought I would do that. I knew I had lost, but I hadn't realized how much. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sandy for agreeing to be my buddy!
Not only did the new motivation pay off in a loss this week, but it also helped me reach a mini-goal I had set for myself. I lost the same amount of weight that my son weighs. That's right......
I Lost 40 lbs!!!!!
I actually reached 40 pounds and got another 5 pound star. That makes 8 in total! I am only 3.5 pounds away from my half-way point.
That amount was TOTALLY unexpected, I didn't think that I could lose that much in a week. And, it's not like I had the GI flu or anything this week. I actually did eat and exercised a little bit. I mostly drank all my water. Maybe it was like re-starting again, I don't know. But, I'll take it.
I was starving after the meeting, so I went to Albertsons. I made a conscious effort to stay away from the sweets and breads, so I got some Terra Chips. They are 4 points a serving, but they were better than the alternative and I had the points to spare. So, I feel empowered that I made a better choice, I didn't opt for donuts or candy bars. Yay me!
So, am I still motivated?
YOU BETCHA!!!!!
Let's keep this up lady. And maybe we can each the ransom for our dresses being held hostage sometime in the next 3 weeks when I get to come to thursday meeting with you!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so and I think it will definitely be within the next 3 weeks too!! Even if it isn't within the next 3 weeks, I am okay with that. I just want to keep the losing trend, even if it is losing a half pound or less a week. I just don't want to start gaining again!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go the meetings with you. I stood up in the meeting and told Thurs about out our hostage dresses, and my cholesterol results and being out of W size dresses.
Apparently, I helped someone else last night. One person quoted me in the meeting about taking 3 months to lose 6 pounds and it gave her new motivation because someone else was going through what she was.
I definitely feel stronger in making wiser choices. I feel like I did when I started this journey. We CAN do it!
I talked about our hostage dresses too.
