299.8 - Weekly Report

     Ok, so.... I made my goal, but just barely. Don't get me wrong, I am excited that I am now under 300 pounds but, I was kinda hoping for 299 flat. I probably shouldn't beat myself up over .8 pounds but, I can't help but feel a little bummed.
     This week has gone pretty well, did my Zumba, but I think it is time to step it up a little and do it more often. I have heard and experienced that the less you weigh the harder it is to lose, so I think it is time that I start preparing for that. If I step up the exercise a little that should help. I need to keep myself in the mindset that a loss is a loss no matter how small, and be happy with it.
     I did learn something about myself over the last couple of weeks though. Putting a time frame on small goals has helped me to stay focused. I think I am going to go with that for a bit. My next goal is get to 250 by the end of September. I will need to lose at least 12.45 per month. That will be 210 pounds in 1 yr and 1 month. I can totally do it!! I hope......
     This weekend is a busy one, my oldest is graduating tonight and we will be having a party for her tomorrow. On Sunday is Church and a birthday party for my brother afterwards. It will be a weekend full of things I wouldn't normally eat (scary). I have devised a plan though to keep me on the wagon, just need to pack the will power.
     I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, I will check in in a few days.

  2. Thank you MissusMege, I need to hear things like that sometimes. I'm not sure why I had such a hard time with not making the 299 flat but you are exactly right, I need to be happy that I am now under 300. I have not been this little since I was on the balk half of 18 years old.
    Thanks to you also Val, having a great support system (people like you, and my family) is so so important. Not having one, I think is why I have never succeeded in the past!
