Week 28 Weigh In: Okay, It's A Plateau!
I am stuck in the 190's! I have set goals, but not specific like I had the first half of the year. I want to get to 140 lbs by the end of December, but I haven't written down exactly how I was going to make that happen. So everyday as I go to the gym here and there I am not concentrating on that goal. It was all consuming a few months ago. I have to get my head in the game, or I will be struggling with weight next year. My ultimate goal- No more weight loss resolutions.
So here it goes...to get to 140 I will:
Focus only on losing 2 lbs a week.
I will religiously track my eating M-F.
I will walk 30 min treadmill intervals M-F during lunch.
I will walk 30 min treadmill intervals or do Supreme 90 Day M-F after work.
I will lift weights MWF (or days I don't do S90D)
I will make a conscious effort to abstain from meat products and sugar.
Limit alcohol consumption.
I will drink 12 cups of water a day.
I will go to bed at 11pm each night.

I won't be collecting any money this time around, but I have purchased a notebook to record these daily goals. That is a lot to think about each day, but it is not a game and I am only accountable to myself. I don't like feeling fat and for some reason I see a 228 lb woman in the mirror. What is that about? I want to feel comfortable and confident everyday and I didn't get under 200 by sitting around and eating! My next visit to the endocrinologist (diabetes doctor) is in October and I want her to reduce my meds.
Vacation Thoughts: Look At Me Now!
I had a great time on my vacation in Cleveland, OH. We celebrated the life and legacy of singers Gerald and Sean Levert. I felt beautiful and I accomplished my goal of NO MORE SHRUGS!!! I wore a one shoulder zebra print top, a spaghetti strapped sundress, and my first strapless bra! I ate more snack foods than I usually do during the week, but I must say I left a lot of food on the plates of Cleveland. I could not finish any meal except breakfast which was french toast and fruit I knew wasn't gonna be available during the day. I only gained one pound on this trip which was amazing to me! I will add that alcohol is the killer of any diet. I truly think that my liquid splurges in June and July stopped my weight loss steam. I'm sure it is scientifically proven somewhere. =D
Here are some before and after pics of myself from the 2010 and 2012 trips.
 |
| 2010-I thought I was so cute, but this was not a good luck. |
 |
| 2012- I had to show off the arms and shoulders I've been working on! |
 |
| 2010- I always have to be in front since I'm so short. I couldn't believe how big I was in this pic. OMG! |
 |
| 2012- Cute face, definition in the waist! A work in progress, but I'm so glad I started this journey! |
Summertime Blues: These Are The Breaks
Coming down from the high of vacation, my car broke down. Thank goodness I was home, but things kept happening in my personal life this week that I could not stop the downward trend. I must confess I ran to food and tequila. Then I stopped and thought about it, after God fixes all this I will be fat and unhappy. Unable to enjoy the blessings after the storms. Everything else is out of my hands, but the one thing I can control is my diet and exercise. I can't throw everything away because of a bad week! So here I am, looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. Translated, I'm going to keep on smiling and doing my thing. I've got to be ready for my future which is so bright!

| The light at the end of the tunnel is not always an oncoming train! LOL |
I talked with my bestie and before school begins again we are Georgetown bound. Window shopping and veggie sushi is on the menu. I can't wait to get away and relax. I'm also taking mini-me to Water Country and I will need a bathing suit for that. Queue the anxiety. Details to come =D
