It has been a while since I last posted. With the minor surgery on my foot (to remove a mole - not cancerous, so no worries) I missed a week, then I got hit with gastro which took me out of commission for another week...yadda, yadda...I finally got back into the swing of things 2 weeks ago. I am happy to report that my weight this morning was at 208.6lbs. I have gotten past 210 which makes me really happy! Yes, I still struggle with food choices now and then, but I continue to focus on the positives. Just like anyone else, I'll have a night where the salsa and chips call out to me (and I admit I will answer the call). However, on the whole I am trying to get better with my food choices (the last few days I have gone for nuts rather than something "junky"). I should up my daily water intake (I noticed that I have gotten bad with that the past week). The positives: I continue to see my weight go in the right direction, I am noticing that my clothes are getting looser and looser (I now need a belt for a few pairs of my jeans) and I am starting to wear things in my wardrobe that were too tight to wear. It's like a whole new wardrobe in some cases (some things haven't been worn in a few years because I was also pregnant not all that long ago). I have even been getting comments from several people at work saying they are noticing that I am slimming down (and I've been working there nearly 3 months now). My brother's wedding is in less than a month. I am not sure if I will have hit the 200 mark (or gone below it) by then, but I already feel better about the way I will look in that killer dress I got!
I will have to take some measurements soon to see where the inches are coming off and how many! I am due to update those. Plus, I should probably post a new pic of me because even I can see that I do not look as round as the initial pic I posted when I started this blog :)
Take it one day at a time and celebrate all the little accomplishments ~ they will get you to the bigger ones!
