So, I had to look back at January to figure out whether or not I met my February goal and.....
I did. Just.
I literally lost 10 pounds on the nose. lol.
I had lost 10.2, but I gained 0.2 after Easter. I'm okay with that.
So, my current weight is 180.
I can't wait to fall into the 70s and see the 60s looming on the horizon.
This week is probably going to be hard, so I really need to focus. Yesterday, we traveled five hours one way to take our daughter to a college visit. Two meals were provided by the school (doughnuts and pastries and fruit at breakfast - ugh - and parm crusted chicken with veggies and potatoes at lunch.) We followed that up with a stop at Texas Roadhouse on the way home. I didn't eat a lot, but I'm sure I was over on my points, I haven't figured it all out yet. So, I'll need to be on my game for the rest of the week if I want to show any kind of loss this week.
On the plus side, I really liked this college. It was her first choice, so I'm glad we are all in agreement on which school is for her. Her program will be pretty competitive, but I think she can handle it. The built in living-learning communities should help since she'll have study groups on her doorstep. The hardest part about this school is how far away it is...
I've got a lot to look forward to in the coming months, so I hope that will motivate my weight loss. Vacation in June. Graduation and Grad Party. Another vacation in January (to Disney!
).... so I'm just trying to keep my momentum alive.
5XDisneyFan - Just keep the detractor at bay. I haven't had too much of that....but my daughter started WW also. She doesn't have a lot to lose, maybe 10 or 15lb,but she wanted to get a handle on her eating before college, and she has had a ton of detractors. It's very hard. Her friends, some family. And she has gotten a ton of "you don't need to lose weight" "you need to have a cheat day once in a while" (when she was less than a week in)... "this won't hurt" Just people constantly encouraging her to overeat, and eat garbage, and undermining her efforts. It's pretty frustrating. Grrr... You can do this, just don't engage in conversation with this person.
Good Work Everyone!!! Keep it up! We can do this!!!
I would love to hear how everyone else handles the Detractors/Underminers/Sabotauers.... I know from the past, that can really make watching your diet difficult. What do you do with those types of people??
