Hi all! Did you miss me? I've started this post several times in my head and they were all very well put and eloquent...but of course all those thoughts ran through my head after I went to bed and well...I never end up remembering all the words I said in my half sleep. :o)
I have had an extended holiday from following my eating plan. Could I have done better? Yes. Do I feel all torn up that I didn't do better? No. This is a journey, I'm in it for the long haul and I have no illusions that I'm not going to have speed bumps along the way. The biggest lesson I've learned is that I don't have to be perfect and a speed bump doesn't have to completely side line me. I just go slower over the bump and get back up to speed on the other side. So, I'm on the other side and getting back up to speed with phase one...again. :o) Was it easy to go back? NO!!! By dinner I was so hungry I could have ripped someone's head off. Don't worry, all family members are present and accounted for...even their heads.
One thing I did right through my extended trip over the speed bump, was to continue to work out at Curves. When I was in town, I did not miss a single workout and in fact posted my highest calorie losses to date (I think it came from knowing what I had ate and figuring I should work harder to burn it off). So, while yes I'm up on the scale, it could have been so much worse. I was actually surprised when I stepped on this morning and was so thankful it wasn't as bad as I thought. I can work with this. LOL If you all knew what I had been eating...well, you'd be impressed at how low the number was, too.
Now, we're coming down to the wire. Will I make it to 80lbs lost by the end of the year? I can't promise that. I don't know how the numbers are going to work out, but I can promise to stay focused from now to the end of the year by getting on a freeway to avoid more speed bumps. :o)
Here's to a great final 3+ months. We'll see what I can accomplish!!!!
