I did it!

I have reached that illusive 80lbs lost mark. It really felt like the last 3lbs there were never gonna come off. I lost 2.4lbs this week. :) Now my eyes are on that 100lb mark. My bff said 'you've lost a 10 yr old' when i told her how much I've lost. Now i look forward to losing the teenage girl that is still clinging to me :)

back to the grind

January 9th and I am back to where I was before the holidays. I lost 3lbs. today bringing me to 1lb. less than before Christmas. I'm happy and I feel really well. I've begun wearing clothes the next size down and people are once again noticing my loss. Looking forward to warmer weather and another size down. :)

Holidays.....paying the price.

Hi,
  I've been out of focus the last couple of weeks. After Christmas I had a 6lb. gain. Just like Thanksgiving. I drank over the New Year holiday and expected the worst come Wednesday morning. I was surprised to see I had lost 3.8lbs of what I had gained at Christmas. My issue today is that I'm feeling as though I've lost focus. After too many days of making a concession here and there I found myself making more yesterday. This upsets me greatly as I see it as potential for unraveling. I've been here before. The point at which I step back and say I did a good job now I can relax. I can't though because I still have so much to lose. I need to snap myself back into the right place. I'm tired after several days off and finding I have no energy for anything. I feel awful. Zumba has been on a 2 week break. Which I hope when that starts up again next week I will be in better sorts. At any rate I need to focus on losing the 2.2lbs I am down since Christmas so I can get back to where I was. I need to find my energy again.
