Day 121, and I've been a little MIA in here for awhile. Let me explain, and give you my month-end wrap up!
I'm officially in maintain mode until the wedding (June 2nd). I had my first dress fitting last Tuesday, and she's taking an inch off of each side of the dress! It's so exciting. I'd like to keep maintaining and not get above 225 and not below 220. I want the dress to fit like a glove!
Also, I'm not tracking my calories on here. I want this next month to be a test. I want to listen to my body and see if I can just follow what it needs, not what my brain/emotions want. I want to exercise because it feels good, not because I went over-calories and need to balance it. I'm still counting calories in my head, and attempting to make healthy choices. I know I can do this!
Until then, here's my end-of-month wrap up!
April 2012 Wrap Up:
5 pounds lost, for a total of 38 pounds lost since January 1, 2012.
Drank a soda (diet Coke), and it was fabulous. But, even though I let myself have one, I have not gotten into the habit. Mind over matter.
After about 35 pounds, people are noticing! What an incredible feeling.
On the Couch to 5K program, I was able to get through 20 minutes of jogging straight. This is unbelievable. I saw the goal of 20 minutes and thought to myself, "It's okay if you don't make it. Stop if you need to. That's a long time." BUT I DID IT. This proves that I am much stronger than I am giving myself credit for. I need to stop being the bad guy and sabotaging myself!
New goal: Maintain mode until June 12th. The wedding is June 2nd, and I am honeymooning afterwards. On June 12th, I go back to work and I go back to loss mode. My goal is to weigh 190 by August 30, 2012. Lose 30 more pounds. I know I can do it.
