Today’s Weight: 135.6 lbs
Total Loss: 19.4 lbs
Here is what is going to happen with Weight Loss Wednesdays for a while:
It has been wonderful checking in weekly to keep myself motivated. And I still plan to check in with my current weight each Wednesday. And if there is any interesting information from that week, I can report that also. I like the weekly check in, its way cheaper than Weight Watchers and it keeps me accountable.
I came to a revelation this past week. I think I have hit a good place to try and just maintain. I know just last week I was talking about losing 10 more pounds by the end of summer. But Friday I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all the clothes that don't fit and then I went shopping to get some things I can actually wear. Everything I bought was a small. And I bought size 4 jeans. The 2's went on without any problems, but they weren't as comfortable. I don't need to be smaller than a 4. I'm happy and healthy at a 4.
So for now I'm going to continue the 1200 calories a day until I get to 130 pounds. Then I'm just going to try to maintain. I'm happy where I am right now. But I haven't been doing as good a job at watching what I'm doing on the weekends. SO I am thinking I if I can get to 130 that gives me the extra 5 pounds to play with. I will just make sure to keep it between 130 and 135. 135 will be my number I don't go over. I think that is a heck of a lot better than where I was!
My pedometer is supposed to come in the mail tomorrow. (Side Note - what in the world happen to Amazon, things used to come so much faster... real disappointed with them lately.) I'm looking forward to getting it and having that motivation to stay moving throughout the day.
Lyla will be done with soccer in a month. Its been great for her and I'm so happy we signed her up. Its important for her to get the exercise and get outside and make new friends. Its been great for her - but its really killed my exercise routine. So it will be nice when that's over and I can try to get back into my stuff again. Or we can do things as a family where we are all out and moving.
Anyways, that's where I stand at the moment. Today I'm at 135.6 pounds. I've fluctuated a lot in the last week though. Its bounced between 134 and 136. We'll see where I fall next week. :)
