I was really good today, yesterday Greg and I had a "cheat" dinner and went out for a burger & fries. I really didn't feel great after eating it, too heavy and my mouth felt coated in grease. I also had been really good all day so I didn't go too terribly over in calories so that was good. I would hate to have undone the 1.6lbs I did lose.
I do know that I shouldn't be losing a ton of weight each week but I feel like I have so far to go that I am never going to get there at this rate.
I am still 35lbs away from the weight I was when I met my husband 7years ago and I have about 80lbs to go after that. But, on the other hand I am 40lbs closer than I was in September. I can't believe I have lost 40lbs so far. I am glad about that but still have so far to go it can be daunting. 40lbs in 8 months means.... in 2 years I will be at my goal weight, okay yes the time frame looks daunting but since it has been about 20 years since I was at that weight it really isn't that bad. Now if you were to tell me it would be 20 more years until I got there then I would just give up. But, I have managed to stay fairly healthy in the midst of some really difficult times and considering I took the entire month of December off and went "hog" wild, it really isn't that bad. It also took me a long time to get really back on track so who knows.
I went swimming when I got home from work and I am going again tomorrow morning so I can keep up my exercise routine. Only have until Labor day to use the pool so I have to get in as much time as I can each week. I figure I don't have to be into work until 12 on two days per week so I can swim before work on those days and on my 2 days off so thats at least 4 days per week when I can get over there weather permitting.

Wish I could swim with you 4 days a week :( I need to get my fanny in gear and get into an exercise routine. I tried doing my walking dvd the other day and didn't even make it through the whole thing. I'm SO out of shape!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club. I do wish you could come to the pool with me too.
