Okay, so this weekend my mom and I decided that we are going to go visit my sister in 2 months. Woo Hoo! I am very excited! She lives in Virginia, and the weather is much better there in April than it is here. So, I will need to pack shorts and carpi's. Here is the challenge: can I lose 20 pounds between now and then?!? It breaks down to about 2.5 pounds per week, which is not overly ambitious. I have put a couple pounds back on, weighed in at 200.2 today, so I would actually like to lose 25, but let's see how that goes!
I have let the potato chips and french fries get the best of me again. I need to make a better plan for work. I need to take food with me so that I have something to eat, and I don't graze on the fries and tortilla chips, and soup. I hate to sound redundant, but I will do it! I will try harder, and I will work out harder, and I will eat better! Then, if I can get to that goal, I will have 10 to 15 pounds left to go when we go on vacation. I really am cutting it close now, so there can be no more slipping up.
On another note, Eric bought me a dress. A pretty dress! I was so surprised! I never wear dresses any more. I used to have great legs, and I wore skirts most days, and the shorter the better! I loved to show off my legs. Once, I actually caused a car accident. A guy was checking out my legs so much that he rear ended the car in front of him! There days, my legs are not so pretty. I am very self conscious about them, especially since I have some bad varicose veins on my left leg. I asked why he bought me a dress. He said it was because I only buy myself clothes on the clearance rack, and I deserved to have something pretty to wear. That is seriously one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. I love my husband, and I love the support he gives me!
So, what am I going to do differently this time to stick to the plan better? I need to make what I eat more interesting. I am getting better at that. Something that Jackie Warner said in her book is counterproductive. She said she makes a smoothie that is one protein, one veg and one fruit out of the way, and she takes her oatmeal and a veg during the day like a vitamin to get them out of the way. That doesn't sound like she is enjoying her food. I love food, and I love to eat, which is part of my problem! I want to enjoy what I do get to eat, so I am trying some new things and combinations of food. I do wish I was allowed more fruit during the day, I would much rather snack on fruit than veggies, but again, I need to be more interesting with my veggie choices.
So, here is to a new beginning, and a better result!
