Before After

A new month...

.... which means I need to kick it in high gear! I can't believe September is gone! Where did it go? It's October 1st! WOW! That means there is approx. 2 1/2 months until my b'day and only THREE months until the new year... If I want to get under 200, I'm going to need to really kick it up a notch, which, to be truthful, won't be hard to do. I haven't exercised at all this week... and hardly at all last week. Like I said in a previous post, I've been dealing with other things. I think I'm doing better today and feel more prepared to kick this weight off. I plan on doing some strength training today, so that's a start. I'm a bit nervous about traveling this weekend... but I'm hoping that mentally I'm ready. If I'm ready mentally, I think I'll succeed!

I'm setting my goals back. I want to see 215 or lower by the end of the month. That isn't hard to do. I'm being a little leniant because I don't know how much traveling I'll be doing AND because my daughter's 3rd b'day is at the end of the month, AND sometime TOM will be here in the next week or two... and that ALWAYS messes things up. I want a goal that I feel is attainable so I don't think I'm setting myself up for failure. Plus, 215 would be a new low for me, I've only seen 219 before... and 15 pounds doesn't seem TOO bad for the month of Nov and Dec- that'd be like 7.5 pounds a month!

Goals!

Good luck with your goals.  You can do it!

Hope

everything is getting better with what you are having to deal with! Good luck with getting back in the swing of things. I need to do that myself!

MUFA

monounsaturated fats. A great source is macademia nuts, but they are high in calories so you need to add those calories into your daily calories.  Almonds are good too, avacado, olive oil, olives.  I need to look up some more sources but just google MUFA and you'll find information on it. 

You need fat with each meal to keep 4975you full, and so why not add a little bit of the good stuff?  It keeps your heart healthy and keeps you full.  A double-whammy of the goodness.
