Back on the Wagon


Well, I've started again on my plan...
Mike and I went with his parents to Eddyville, IA, over the Fourth of July for him to race. I thought hanging out in the heat would cause me to lose some lbs, but I was wrong. I actually gained all the weight I had lost back. I suppose it could have been all the cookies I ate that his mom made and all the whiskey and beer I drank! On top of that, his mom took THE most unflattering picture of me. I plan to have her print it out so it can be a constant reminder of what I am trying to NOT be.
So far I have turned down an invite to one of my favorite restaurants and bar (Buffalo Wild Wings) and I went to a bar for a friend's birthday and actually did not drink any alcohol! I did drink my diet Coke, though.
Today I went to the gym and it was rough. It's amazing how much strength and stamina you lose in such a short (or long) time. It has probably been close to three months since I have been.
I have a new plan in store for my weight loss, which I think will keep me on track:
The first two weeks of my plan is pretty strict, so I hope to lose about 8 pounds. The two months following, I plan to lose 6 pounds each month, and the month after that 5 pounds. That will put me at 25 lbs by about the middle of October. After that I will have to revise my plan to lose the remaining 25 lbs, hopefully by my next birthday, which is my ultimate goal!
Mike and I in Eddyville! This is not the picture I was referring to, believe it or not! Lol!
