I am thrilled. To maintain over this period of the year would be a miracle, but to lose, well- that's my Christmas present to myself this year! I am that much closer to my year's goal. I have to say, I didn't set that goal in the beginning. It was only to feel better, breathe easier, and move with less pain. It's working.
In September, I felt good enough to make a personal goal, the catalyst being my step mom, and I set it at 50 for the end of the year. 50 pounds. Wow. No wonder I felt so lethargic and did not want to move. I can't imagine it, but I wish for it.
What helped with the weight this week? No holiday food, no take-out, no soda, and drinking a ton of water. I drink a glass of water before every meal now, so that it fills me up a bit. It's a Weight Watchers trick I learned years ago, and it works. And, it does not hurt you.
I want to pull Biggest Loser numbers by January. I think I can, if I'm working out. My step mom fussed after me today for not exercising regularly, and she's right. I have the flexibility in my day, more than enough opportunity, and no excuses.
