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.

Hooray for losses! 35 lbs by November is completely realistic and totally achievable! And fun that you have a whole wardrobe waiting for you.
This whole thing just gets expensive for me because quite frankly, I have never owned anything in the sizes I need now, not as an adult anyway! Oh well, I just keep shopping the clearance racks!
