I can not believe that just this month, I was griping about still being in the 230s since July. It's now the last day of November, and I'm plowing my way out of the 220s already. Well, maybe I shouldn't speak so soon, but I've lost about 5 lbs in the last half of November! Hot Dayum! That just shows the capabilities of the human body once the mind is on board. I'm not doing anything special. I just promised myself I would not allow myself to lose these last months of 2009 to laziness and poor decision making. So far, I've proven to be a real bad-ass.
This morning, I weighed in at 226 lbs. That's down from 229 lbs just last Saturday. Since I weigh myself and record my morning weight daily, I didn't notice the day to day changes, but to look back a whole 7 days and see my progress is so encouraging. All I have to do is keep this up.
My goal for next Saturday is to weigh in at 224 lbs. I can't believe it. I'm nearly halfway done with the 220s already and it's not yet December. If I can hit this next Saturday, which I'm going to try my damnedest to do, I will have the 210s in my sights and once I reach them, what a high that would send me on to finish out 2009! My revised ultimate year-end goal is to weigh LESS than 220 lbs. Anything less than 220 lbs will satisfy me! (When I started this journey, my goal was to weigh less than 200 lbs by the end of 2009. Due to a longer than expected plateau, I had to revise my goal in order to achieve weight loss at a healthy pace.) From where I currently stand, all it takes is a nice healthy weight loss pace thanks to good decision making. I can do that. I REFUSE to slip up and find myself trying to lose 6 or 7 lbs in the last 10 days of December.
I can't wait to see what hard work looks like. Stay tuned, gals!
