Lost a little

So excited! It seems the break I took from the hard core dieting helped. This week I am down 4 lbs, now in reality it was probably water weight and other various factors I didn't actually control, but still yay! 168.4 this morning :)

Feeling motivated... I can do this!

Two days down...

Day one and two back on the program are complete... and thank God. The longer I go the easier it will get right? The dark, cold weather is making it super hard to stick to it. That and the alluring holiday treats EVERYWHERE. I stayed in my calorie range the first day ( 100 over the second day) but I went to the gym both days 3.8 mile run, arms and abs Sunday, 3 miles yesterday evening. Today the plan is to actually stick to my calorie count and to do a bit of running and legs. Wish me luck! If you are feeling energetic you should do it too! One mile on the treadmill to warm up, and then this....

Back on the weight loss wagon

My genius plan was to relax a little, let the weight loss thing go for a while, and just revel in my success. Sadly it seems it's harder to just maintain than I hoped. If I am not actively trying to lose, I tend to eat total crap and gain. I am 3 lbs up from my lowest 169. Which sucks because just last week I was down to 169, and now I am up 3 lbs?? How does that even happen. I know I didn't eat 9,000 calories over my weekly allowance (assuming around 3000 calories per pound). I always feel like it definitely takes less food to gain than to lose. It sucks!

So before I let this get out of hand I am getting back on my weight loss plan. I have given my body about 2 months to rest and reset so I am crossing my fingers that hitting the plan hard again will show results. I was on a major plateau which was super frustrating. That is why I decided a hiatus would be best.

But no more! I am getting serious. I refuse to gain weight this holiday season just to feel fat and self loathing by new years. I will be lighter by new years than I am today ( even if it is only by 5 lbs). I will not allow the holidays to ruin my hard work.

Here's to kicking fats ass! Wish me luck!
