My weight loss sister and friend Princess Valecia- please look for her fabulous blog-lol has been bullying me to get back into this blog thing. Ahh I will confess I was a diligent blogger on another platform for years but FINALLY I have found a momentum again and knack for wanting to do it. So I'm here to stay this time..no less than three posts a week. You will also get to delve into my personal life which can be crudely interesting at times..stay tuned!
Since my last post I have maintained diet and excercise but I fell back into the yo yo trap. My lowest weigh in was a week before my before my birthday Oct 30th 315 POUNDS. After my bday I creeped back to 324 sigh. I knew better..all the drinking and eating I was doing. Lucky for me I have learned what my body needs to get the weight off so now I am 318! My goal is to be 310 by Christmas.
Dieting is hard. It's more than just counting calories and following an exercise plan. One of the humps I had to cross was even though I went to the gym to burn 700 calories, if I ate 3000 in a day I was being counterproductive. Not to mention, you have to have a sincere focus to want to lose the weight. Not every other week, or once a month, but a consistent regimen that will get the pounds off and KEEP THEM OFF!
So yes ladies and gentleman I'm back on the wagon. I resist the smell of donuts at the grocery store bakery and opt for a bran muffins. At the drive through of Mc Donalds there is the salad menu and dining out is becoming easier. I'll have a taste of an appetizer and take the rest home. I also may order a high calorie meal but eat an extremely small portion and get full from a side salad. Another stumbling block is saying no to alcohol- as I bow my head in utter shame yes I am a lush. I don't require AA (smile) but a cocktail can be up to 800 calories depending on the syrups used so imgaine candidly having three in a night while mingling with friends?!!!
My clothes fit better, I am a 22/24 withouth having to use a 26 for anything! Its a great feeling and I've come a long way since my size 28 days in 2006. What in the world will happen when I'm 200 pounds again? I can't wait to find out:)
Until next time......
