I spent some time yesterday re-reading all of my old blogs. I was looking for a recipe I was sure I had posted, but didn't put it in the title, so I ended up reading each and every one of them. A lot of it was like reading through an old high school journal, kind of embarrasing and all I could think was, "What is wrong with me?!" As painful as it was to read, I did get some good motivation out of it. And it reminded me of things I was doing and eating back when I first started WW and was so successful.
I'm finally back in the mindset of wanting to lose weight again, not just maintain what I've already lost. While I still don't have the zeal and excitment of when I first joined, I do feel inspired to get with the program and actually stick to it. I read in an earlier post that before I would lose weight for an arbitrary event (wedding, vacation, etc) and then I would quit. I decided I wasn't going to do that this time around. But then I realized that I really don't have any goals or timelines set for myself, and I think that's part of why I let myself vear off course.
So, I have less than 7 months until vacation in Jamaica; 29 weeks from Saturday to be exact. My goal is to lose 40+ pounds from where I was this morning by the time we leave. I'm not saying exactly 40 because if I'm close or hit it before we go, I'll slack off. So the minimum that needs to be gone by December 22 is 40 pounds. If I can manage to lose 60 pounds, that would put me at goal weight!
I've had an awesome week this week with tracking and styaing within my points. And I've earned a fair amount of activity points, although I've been kind of sluggish the last 2 days. I just need to force myself to stay on plan and move as much as I can. The movement is about to get easier and way more fun...I'm getting a motorcycle sometime in the next couple of weeks. It's a serious core workout and can earn massive activity points!
Todays weight: 195.0
Jamaica goal weight: 155.0
Final goal weight: 135.0
