New Motivation

It has been a hard couple of weeks. I haven't been sticking to WW perfectly, but I am proud to say that I've lost 2.6 pounds since I last weighed in. Of course, it is 2 totally different scales, but this one is at the doctor's office. But, I am still down and that is a good thing.

I have 13 more pounds to go then I'll be at my lowest since starting WW. And, with my new motivation, it shouldn't be hard to get there now. You see, my dream job just posted an opening. It is working as a flight paramedic on a helicopter. The problem is is that I am 10 pounds over-weight. But, since I just submitted my application today, I am hoping it will take a few weeks before I have to do their physical and get weighed in.

So, I am on the super-eating-healthy kick and the super-tracking kick. I did very well today and will continue to do well. As I told someone today, I am great at maintaining. I just hit plateaus and they suck. I spoke with my PA today and we discussed plateaus. It seems I hit my set point and in order to get below that set point, I need to decrease my food even more, increase activity and try to shock my body into losing more weight. So, I have decided to cut down on the carbs, limit the amount of rice, bread and potatoes. I am not saying cut carbs out completely, but limit them and see what happens. So, here is hoping that this works.

So, if you are reading this, please send a prayer. I am really, really, really hoping this is what God wants for me, since my last 2 attempts at finding a job were disappointingly unsuccessful.
