10.5!!!!

I (re)started this healthiness journey that I am on on October 1, 2010. That is four weeks ago today. I had one small goal at the time....10 pounds lost in the first month.

I did it!!!!

10.5 pounds lost in 4 weeks!!!!

I am pretty darn excited about that! Can you tell? hee hee. I have decided that to look at the big picture of losing 75+ pounds is far too much for my brain to come to terms with. I know myself too well, and know that I will hit the magic 50 or so pounds and start to get lazy about journaling my food. I tend to get lazy because it ends up seeming like I have worked really hard and really long, but still have such a long way to go. And I just want to be finished. Finished? Really?! I need to get over that right now! I am never going to be finished. This is F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

That is such a hard concept. I have a ton of self motivation and drive for 6 months to a year and then it just seems that convenience gets in the way. I am hungry, and there is a fast food place. I am hungry and will just throw something processed in to cook quickly. Sigh. So...the goal is to try to always be prepared. Always have something quick, easy, and healthy that I can feed my family. Planning is key.

If I stay on top of the plan, then I will have success!!! I just know it :)

  1. Congrats congrats! Whoo hoo! Woot woot!
    I hear what you're saying about that point where you get lazy. That's where I am right now. I recently lost 40 pounds, then suddenly quit. I haven't weighed or tried now for almost 2 months. I have no idea how much I've regained, but I bet it's a bunch. I'm too mad at myself to get back on the scale - or the bandwagon....
    It's VERY interesting to hear you processing through your mentality - and it could just as easily have been me writing that.
    I'm going to keep reading - and hopefully I'll get re-motivated, too!
    In the meantime - YOU GO GIRL!
