Trying and trying

Today was my weekly weigh-in, I'm down 1.5 pounds. For the last few weeks I've been fluctuating up a pound or so, then down a pound or so. It is so frustrating!

I met with Mel, my dietician, today and she is helping me tweak my eating and spread out my meals a little better. The past week and a half has been difficult, I haven't been following my normal routines. I have to see her again in two weeks, she wants me to lose 3 pounds by then. I know I can do, maybe knowing that I have to be accountable to her on March 7 will make me stick to my plan.

On a brighter note, DH and I rebooked our vacation house for the first week of June. I will be beach bound and bikini ready!

Journal:
Deciding to cancel our vacation a few weeks ago definitely had an adverse effect on me. I believe that is part of the reason I have been fluctuating. The thought of not going on vacation really had me down in the dumps. When DH saw that I was feeling blue about it, we looked at our budget again, realized we can afford a vacation, found a smaller house at half the cost and booked it this weekend.

I am now feeling very motivated again.

Know the feeing

I have been fluctuating too. It gets so aggrivating, but you just have to keep reminding yourself that you are changing for the better and even when things don't turn out like you think they should, you are still moving foward, and are healthier than you were on day one!

I totally agree with Voxxy!!

We are on our way to a better us!!!

And about my puppy name...not sure.  I really want the black and brown one...I'll name him either Ace or Patch.  If I get the white one..it's snowball, and if I get the brown one its muffin!! I'm sooo excited!!

Thanks for adding me as a friend!

Vaca

I am so jealous! I want to take a vacation too!!! I hope you have a great time in your bikini on the beach!!!

I'm so happy for you!

I'm glad you were able to figure out what motivates you!  How exciting to be planning a vacation in the middle of all this horrible cold! 

Nice...

What could be a better motivational tool than a vacation on the beach! You definatly have something to look forward to now. Think of your husbands face when he sees you lookin smokin hot in that bikini !
