I woke up to 122.6 today. So I’m .6 over my goal weight. I am very happy about that. My smart alek sister said to me yesterday that she’s planning my intervention for anorexia. LOL…I so do NOT have an ED, lol I don’t have the willpower, lol. That’s her way of telling me she’s noticed my weight loss I guess. She is pregnant right now, so I’m sure she’s feeling a little sensitive about her weight. Ah well…

So, I’ve decided that I would like to get down to an even 115 and have a maintenance range between 115 and 120. I think I can definitely maintain that comfortably. At least I hope I can! Here is my game plan:

Step up my workouts: I want to do my elliptical 3x per week on the level 4 program - it’s only 30 minutes long, but it’s so intense! I burn 426 calories on it! Then do my Yoga Booty Ballet workouts on the alterate days. I wish I could do my Turbo Jam, however I hurt my foot a few weeks ago, and I need to let it heal better.

Try harder with my eating. This is a toughie. My nearly 12 month old son, nurses like a 3 month old, and so my body is still in high lactation mode. This coupled with intense workouts = HUNGER!!! So I need to be better at finding filling yet low cal healthy foods. Any suggestions? I’ve also got to do better at drinking my water and taking my supplements. I take a prenatal and I want to add in my fish oil and calcium. However, too many pills can be a little overwhelming.

Okay, so I’ve rambled on enough. Now I’ve made my plan - it’s time to WORK IT!!!!!

Hey Everyone,

 I can’t believe how things can change in a month. I hit my 125 goal quite a few weeks ago (probably early Sept) and this morning was shocked and amazed to see 123.6 on the scale! Yes! Victory is near. However, I’m beginning to wonder if I should alter my goal. Losing weight has become almost fun! I said almost…it’s not easy, cutting back on food and making the effort to workout. However, maybe, just maybe I can pull off 118 pounds? Once I get to 122 on the nose I’ll do a serious re-evaluation. I’m also thrilled that my waist is almost 29 inches! My goal waist line measurement is a loose 28. We’ll see. Until then, I’ll keep hopping down this diet trail. Actually, scratch that. I’m not on a diet, this is a lifestyle!!
