Despite all the positive things that have come about and for which I am grateful, I still can't seem to get out of the 190's. I think I might have jinxed myself when I celebrated too much after making my first goal of 199 and now I can't seem to get much farther past that. It seems that getting to my next goal of 188 would have been a snap but it is harder to get off another 11 pounds right now that it was to lose those first 39. I can't understand why. I have done what others have suggested........I ate more calories, less calories, changed my exercise routines, walked and still I seem to lack the metabolism to shed the pounds more easily. I wish there was a "weight loss" fairy who could fly over my head, check me out and then sit on my shoulder and whisper in my ear a successful way to go from here. No such luck!
I am heading down to my DD's to see her new home this weekend and one again, challenges of being away from home will put me on hold of losing more weight. Remember my vacation when I gained 3 pounds in 4 days away? I hope that doesn't happen again. Thank God my DD and her future DH are on a pre-wedding diet so maybe it won't be too bad. But then again I have heard about all the good restaurants in F-burg and ............
I guess if I weren't under the gun to lose some more weight prior to this wedding I would take this all in stride. After all, it took me years to get this fat so it may take years to get it off. I also think because for many years I waeighed around 195 that my body just likes it here. Oh, body, it will be so much better in the 180's and then the 170's and then........well you know. Maybe my body will co-operate with this pedometer challenge. I have improved my steps daily, now if I could only improve my weight loss daily. 193 I HATE you. So there!
