Introduction
WOW! I can hardly believe that the holidays are here and almost over. It certainly has flown by this year. I feel like time is speeding up each year and soon it will be a huge whirlwind. Luckily I have been VERY busy! I think it has aided in my weight loss. Not that I have lost more than a few pounds since I last weighed myself. I certainly have lost a few inches though. I feel like I have hit a plateau, which I know is normal, in the actual weight loss. But I know I have lost more fat. Thank goodness muscle is a lot smaller than fat:) I even got the good old "Damn you look good" from Mathew when I was able to fit into an older black velvet shirt and new dressy black pants. I am officially down to a size 14:) Well in the pants. Still need a 16 in the tops cause of the chest. I can tell that my "baby pouch" has shrunk a lot. Now to work on loosing the lovely luv handles on top of my hips/butt. If I could loose those I would look A LOT better! I know I need to be patient but it is SO hard! I want it all off NOW! I know it takes time if your going to be healthy about it but I'm getting impatient. I think that is the hardest thing right now. It is kind of discouraging me and I am REALLY rtrying to not let it get me down. I keep telling myself that my Holiday goal was to NOT gain weight and I have lost a few instead so that is great. SO why am I feeling this way? I just don't get it? I am right on track with my plans. If things continue this way then I will definitly feel ok in a bathing suit this summer. If I lost 2 lbs a month until May 31 (anniversary) I will be at 150 (appox). That is my goal. But I want to reassess at that weight too so I can decide if I want to try for 10 more lbs. That is the most I want to loose. I know I could loose 10 more lbs over the summer. I just want it all right now! Maybe I am getting burnt out? Has anyone ever experienced these feelings? Or am I just feeling lazy? Wish me luck in fighting this new obstical. I feel like I'm really going to need it! Hope you are all enjoying your holidays and doing your best to not to over indulge! Until later...
*Take Care of You* Mary
