Big Steps - Current Update

 

So it's been a while since I've provided you with an update on the whole Weight Watchers thing. I signed up on May 13th and as of June 24th, I've lost....drum roll please.....three pounds! HA! I will be honest, I started out super motivated. I packed a sensible lunch every day, took healthy snacks and really paid attention to my points. Then the Memorial Day weekend hit and I lost all sight of the diet. I was happy that I only gained one pound, and I lost it within the week back, but I've been up and down every since.

 

I'm hovering around the same number but the clothes in my closet, that haven't fit since before McKinley, finally do and that makes me super happy. I do need to get refocused though as I have an event coming up at the end of July and I want my dress, that fits now, to fit like a dream in a month! Plus, as I look at my 40 Before the Big 4-0 list, I have numbers 13 and 14 as get back in the gym and lose my remaining baby weight respectively. Based on the whopping three pounds I've lost, I have eight more to go, but in reality I could stand to lose another 10! I would like to lose 15 pounds, but 10 would be nice!

 

I'm not quite sure how to get remotivated! If I needed to be in a bikini for a photo shoot next month, that would really get my butt off the couch! In reality, I simply have "the dress". I've been talking up a trip to LA for my 40th birthday, which is a mere five months away. If that were to really take shape, I'm pretty sure I could find my way back to those regulated points and watch that scale move down the mountain. I will keep you posted on that!

 

I can say that my mom thinks I've lost weight based on the fact that my face looks thinner. And let me tell you, if my mom says I look thinner, then that's no lie! She is my worst critic. I'm not sure I can tell if I look thinner, but like I stated previously, clothes don't lie in the weight department! If they are fitting like they should, and looser than a month ago, I say I'm doing something right!

 

Check back next month for a progress report!
