Total weight lost so far : 25.4 pounds

This week was a good one.  It didn’t quite make up for my gain last week, but almost!  Last night we had a substitute WW leader and while I didn’t find his presentation as uplifting as my usual WW leader, I did like that since there weren’t many people at last night’s meeting, he went around to the familiar faces and asked how they were doing.  We chatted for a few minutes and it was nice to get some individual attention, something that I think is lacking with the WW program.  He was very inspiring in his words.

I’m going to Florida on vacation and I’d like to be able to wear my pre-children clothes by then.  That being said, my goal now is to lose 35 more pounds by mid-November.  That would put me at the exact weight I was before I had children AND into all of the clothes still in my drawers and closet.  It is doable.  I would need to lose 4 pounds a month.  A very realistic goal.  I still won’t be at “goal” according to WW.  But, frankly, I don’t think I will ever hit “goal” for my height.  The last time I weighed that weight, I was chock full of food allergies and literally starving.  I honestly would be REALLY HAPPY to hit this 35 pound goal by November.  I truly would be happy at that weight.
