Pounds lost in Week 36: 1.6 pounds

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.

When I texted my husband to tell him that I lost weight this week, he responded “How did you manage that?” – to which I responded, “Hell, if I know.”  This weekend was CheezWaster’s birthday and while I did a fair amount of going up and down the stairs at our church hall doing set up, I still ate cake and brownies and pizza…..and the list of crap food goes on.  I did try and plan for it by saving up points as I knew I was already in the hole with my pound gain from last week and it looks like it paid off.  I’m still down .2 from my original low weight, but now that the holidays and all of the birthdays are over, I’m vowing to see the numbers 27 and 28 and well, you know.
