Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been super busy in the evenings, and aside from exercising, it's all I can do to keep from falling asleep standing up! Now, on to the update.
As you know, yesterday was my deadline to meet my 178.5 weight loss goal. Well, I am happy to report that not only am I under 178, I am at 177.3 pounds! Success for me!
I am going to be really honest with you though... I could be less than 177... but I have not been as strict on myself as I should be.
I exercise every day, but when it comes to certain meals, I do not measure my portions. Don't get me wrong, I still eat slow and drink a lot of water, but when it comes to certain meals, I do not resist. For example, spaghetti, which you all know is my weakness. I eat less than I used to, but I still eat it. And the other day when my husband wanted to eat at a pizza buffet, I agreed, but I ate slower, and luckily it was a busy day and they had trouble keeping the pizza pans full.
I eat the same thing for breakfast every day: cereal, granola bar, and an apple shortly before lunch. Also, I have not been eating breads very much, so that is a lot of progress for this bread lover! I do not eat fast food, period.
Everyone at work comments on my weight loss, though I can't really pinpoint where the pounds are falling off. Well, the first place I have noticed has been my upper body. I even look more narrow in the shoulder/arm area, which I love because I HATE MY FAT ARMS. On the other hand, my pants are getting very baggy, but mostly in my butt. I can keep my pants up around my waist, but they are starting to look sloppy. I might dig out my size 9/10 pants to see if they fit.
These days, I can't help but wish time away, which I hate doing. I sometimes sit around and think of my progress and say to myself, "I wonder what I am going to look like at Christmas. Am I going to look as good as I want to?" It makes me wish I could look into the future just to SEE my progress. Weighing myself is one of the highlights of my day, because I get this adrenaline rush every time I see a lower number. I look in the mirror and say, "You are doing it! YOU are losing weight, YOU are going to look awesome."
