Entry Really, I can do this!
Nov 08 2009 20:44


So I am just about a week shy of being 2 months MIA. Typical for me this time of year! :) Though I did not reach my Halloween goal of 168 (surprise surprise!) I am happy to report I have not gained a pound! In fact my last weigh in, which was around the 26th or 27th, I weighed in at 184, so a few pounds down from my last recorded weight of 187. But add in a couple of Halloween parties and a very inactive week (or 2?) and I'm thinking I'll prolly be closer to the 187 again when I weigh in tomorrow morning.  Meaning (and I think I've already said this) but I believe I have the maintenance thing down! I can handle a 3 lb fluctuation, now if only I could get it down in the 140-150 range!!

Which is exactly what I plan to do! Goal one: the halfway point is 20 lbs by my birthday (1-22-2010)! And to keep me motivated I believe I am shooting for a Vegas trip sometime around then!  It always helps when I have something planned and need (want) to look fabulous for! Kiss

But in order to pay for that trip let's hope I have a job by then!! I've only just really started looking this past week. This is another reason I have found myself back at CC (besides just missing it!) I am certain starting back in the workforce is going to be difficult....exercise is going to have to be "fit" in again, late nights means less prep time for dinners (quick and healthy is just harder to do)....the usual routine of really "working" at this is going to hit me like a ton of bricks!  I really have enjoyed this time off I've had! It seriously makes things easier. But all good things some come to an end. LOL   And I know I will need CC to get me through~

I will update my weight and official plans tomorrow!!

I agree your new profile pic is fabulous! Good job on maintaining! I'm so proud of you and excited to see you back to lose the rest.

I think it's such a good idea to shoot for a range rather than one weight. I'm going to shoot for maintaining in a range too!

How come I’m not losing weight?

Your workout routine is commendable but you are eating too many calories to lose weight. 1500-1700 calories a day is more like a maintenance... Read more
