Update time!

            So yesterday I had to weight myself. I’m officially down 81 pounds since I started. I’ve also now lost a total of 51.75 inches.

            There is good and bad from last month to this month. I’ll say the bad first. I should have lost more weight than I did. I was in Nebraska and that didn’t set me back, but it did stall me. I didn’t gain, but I also didn’t lose while I was there. I was glad to see that I was able to control myself away from my usual routine, but it was also disappointing. I should have lost at least 4 pounds in the last month; not just 2. I fully understand that it’s my fault and my fault alone that I didn’t see the weight loss I wanted to this month.

            So here’s the good. I’ve been kicking my ass for last week because I knew I was on damage control to make up for the lost time. I have a goal to be at 100 pounds lost by May 11. I will meet that goal. I keep telling myself that. With that said, in the last week I was able to drop 3 pounds on my damage control plan. I didn’t change my meal plan, but I nearly killed myself doing extra cardio to make up for lost ground. I also know that somewhere in there I must have gone up a pound since I lost 3 this week, but I’m only at a 2 pound loss for the month. I actually just realized that…damn. Anyway, now that I know I can step it up with the cardio, and the lifting will be the same I will be working extra hard for the next 7 weeks. It’s only 19 pounds to my 100 pound lost goal. Don’t doubt me on this; I’m friggin’ confident that it’s going to happen.

            Basically, if you need to find me, you should just check the gym first. I’ll be the crazy girl on the elliptical.

  6. LOL hey crazy girl on the elliptical! Congrats on your progress, 80 lbs is a lot! I want to tell you not to focus on how you could have lost more if this or that, but I am currently doing the same thing, so I dont want to be a hypocrite. I wanted to lose 10 lbs this month, but life got in the way and that didnt happen. Oh well, here's to a productive April!
