SO what is the best motivation to keep going on your weight loss journey? For me, it is definitely seeing the scale drop. When I see drops in my weight I feel like my work is not in vain and I am motivated to see more drops. That is absolutely how I feel on this beautiful Friday morning! I got on the scale this morning to see another 1.3 lb drop. 177 even. Only 14.5 lbs away from where I was just before my wedding. I plan to log Monday morning as I am historically lighter on Fridays.
I behaved at dinner last night. I can't stand eating hotdogs without a bun, plus we were having chili dogs so I took one of my Udi's hotdog buns and carved out the middle. All that was left were the outside shell and some fluff around the edges. Still delish and much better for me. I even made sweet potato poofs for the fam and only popped 2 in my mouth! Today's meals so far will be good. High in fat again, but that's not a concern for me. I will have to hunt something down to eat at lunch time because I know this will not be enough for me all day and the last thing I want to do is starve or hunt down something I shouldn't eat.
Planning another lunch time walk today and shooting for the same time we have been making so far this week. The challenge will be keeping up the activity this weekend. I am beyond busy at work and really should come in to catch up some as I am much more productive in front of my double monitors, in my quiet office, with access to the printer, copier, scanner, etc. I also have an appointment to donate blood first thing tomorrow morning, tentative plans with the BFF to hang out and do my nails, and a Nascar (Birthday) event on Sunday for the hubby's BFF that starts at 10am and will go till who knows when. MUST STAY ON IT!!
I have given myself a little goal to help motivate me. I bought this beautiful white VS bikini before the wedding to take on my honeymoon. Well I misplaced it (actually hid it and forgot where I put it) and started to think I might have accidently thrown it away with the bag. I was bummed and went on the honeymoon without it. I found it 2 weeks AFTER we got home from our honeymoon. So I have this brand new bikini that I want to feel comfortable in and be able to wear by this summer. To do that, I need to get back to where I was in July... about 165. Since that was my goal by my birthday in the beginning of May, this is just a little extra push.
Will update later with my stats from the walk. Send motivational thoughts my way! Happy Friday, all!
**EDIT** Walk at lunch was just slightly longer than yesterday but I blame that on a lot of traffic. We have to cross the street twice to do the walk that we do and both times had to wait forever to cross but it was still less than 22 minutes. 1.18 miles in 21:35. Average pace 18.09 per mile and 156 calories burned. I didn't really go get anything for lunch, instead I found the bag of beef jerky I had in my car and am munching on that. It is a pork tenderloin and veggies night so I am pretty satisfied with my day and eating choices. Just gotta keep it up through the weekend.
