I can't believe that it's been almost 50 days since I've blogged last. I have had many ups and downs since the last time I blogged. We've had a lot that has been accomplished too.
I've hit the 60 lb. mark and I'm currently 3 lbs. from losing 70 lbs. I was measured and weighed in at my 6 month mark and had lost 57.25 inches at that point. I couldn't believe how many inches I had lost, because that was almost 20 inches in 1 month. Next Tuesday will be 7 months that I've been doing this lifestyle change.
Jerry and I celebrated our 15 yr. anniversary on May 21st, and since that point I've been making choices to not follow plan each week. Jerry and I went to dinner on our anniversary to Beacon Hills, they have a yummy dessert that I wanted. I had also eaten a meal that wasn't totally on plan and decided afterwards that it wasn't that spectacular. The weekend that followed was Memorial Day weekend. Danielle, Ross and Mackennzie along with Katie came for the weekend to make flowers for the wedding. I had friends and family out to help us so instead of making a separate meal for myself, I just ate modified versions of what everyone else ate. I ended up gaining a pound and a half after that weekend, but followed plan religiously and lost 4 1/2 lbs at my next weigh in after that. I was quite pleased.
I had Jerry take some pictures today so that I could post them with this writing, don't have much else to talk about. I'm trying to get re-focused so that I'm eating on plan all the time and not justifying that while I'm still losing weight that I can eat things that I shouldn't be. I have been working out a little more. I had been working out several times a week until 2 weeks ago and then the kids schedules got hectic with lots of things going on and I wasn't home to work out. I've worked out twice this week on the elliptical and it feels great!! Just need to keep eating the way I should and I'm sure that I'll be back on the fast track to losing more than a pound or two a week.
Also, I've gotten into my dress that I bought for Kelli's wedding but have now decided to wear to Danielle's wedding. In fact it's now a little too big, so I'll have to have it altered prior to the wedding. I just need to find a jacket and shoes to go with it.
