Doing it in December!

After not having Zumba last week and having been sick myself this week I approached my scale this morning with no idea what to expect. What to my wondering eyes should appear but an early Christmas gift. 4.8lbs lost. Thrilled to say the least I immediately began my inner thigh exercises because everything helps and the more I lose the more I want to lose. This meets milestone number 3. Milestone number 4 only being 5lbs away. The reason for the closeness of these milestones, where most of them are 25lbs. apart, is because where most are set to the number I achieve on the scale this one is not. This milestone is based on the fact that when I go in to my doctors office and stare at the little weight chart on the wall I always find myself in the morbidly obese range. Always thinking 'so your saying I'm so fat I'm going to die'. Today I am officially out of that range! So now I'm just so fat I'll get really sick but probably not die :P  Next week I am sure will be a minor set back but at least now I am not in that range and I am happy for that.

Two weeks 'til the next speed bump....

Less than two weeks to go until Christmas and today's weigh in brought me to 2ozs. below my pre-Thanksgiving weight. Yay! Christmas is a potential 2 day speed bump. I don't plan on it being anywhere near as bad as Thanksgiving but honestly after today I just want to lose more. I'm thinking about skipping the festive eating so to speak and just eating normal. I'd rather see the results on the scale than join in with the over eating. It really isn't worth it and feeling this good is addictive. I think of how much more I have to lose and how good I feel right now. It just makes me think the more I lose the better I'm going to feel and it makes me want to keep pushing on.

Happy News!

I feel like I've been neglecting this blog as of late. I am late in telling you that I lost 5lbs. this week. Thus proving the fluff weight theory. I'm very pleased with that outcome and I have no doubt that last pound will be gone by next Wednesday. Struggling with a bit of the Christmas blues since there isn't much money for presents this year. Stressful time as always. I'm also stricken by how much of the holiday is celebrated by food. I'm really noticing my spirits are down because I'm not joining in with all the parties and things that I normally would. So much is about food that I just don't have any interest in being part of it. I have decided to make Christmas cookies for the kids and I have the calorie count of each one I'm making so if I eat them I'm gonna take it out of my 1200 for the day. I don't want a repeat of Thanksgiving. I'll splurge a little on the actual holiday but I don't want to feel as bad as I did in the days following Thanksgiving ever again. NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels. Those are my words to live by. I feel really good and I want to keep it that way. I still have so long to go but I'm a third of the way in and I'm still determined to make it all the way. :)

ahg.

So...... I gained 6.4lbs. I don't think it's even humanly possible to gain that much over 3 days but that's what the scale said. I know that part of it is fluff because i drank. I'm hoping most of that comes off with my next weigh in. until then.....
