Back on Track

That's right!  We are officially back on track!

I was very pleased to see a loss on the scale this week and I feel like I am officially in a groove.  In week's past it has been very difficult to say no to high-carb, high-sugar snacks, but this past week they weren't even a temptation.  When presented with Cheez-its, Oreo's, Fig Newton's, and sugary cereals I happily chose a handful of raisins.  This is a very nice place to be.  

And, I feel like I am finally over this cold.  Morning's are still pretty rough but I finally feel well enough again to head back to the gym this week.  Woohoo!  

I do feel like I must disclose the following though: I did enjoy 24 hrs of 'cheating' from Friday night to Saturday night.  The food choices were still mindful though, and I don't regret that farm ice cream I had with my mom yesterday when she came to visit. :)  And getting back on track today?  A non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

So....as of weigh-in this week I'm down 18.4 pounds total.  I'll take it.

My goal's have shifted since the beginning of the summer and are now the following: This week I really want to get down the the 20 pound mark.  This is what I am shooting for.  And then from weigh-in this Wednesday I've got 2 1/2 weeks until I move and I'm planning on losing an additional 5 pounds within that time frame to bring my weight loss to a grand total of 25 pounds.  Boy will that feel good!

In other news, things are picking up these next couple weeks.  I've officially have an apartment lined up in Hartford and have officially begun making my moving plans.  I even bought 15 boxes yesterday along with tape and packing paper! This week begins the "going through everything" phase and then I hope to space out my packing within my last 2 weeks here.  It all seems a little daunting still at this point, but I hope to take it one day at a time and keep the stress levels down. :)

Until next time y'all-
J
