GOAL!
Now, that was the high goal. From 170 to 150. From the beginning of May until now. (with the month of August taken for vacation with more than ample cocktails, pie, cookies and bread...) Have eaten mostly veggies, fruit and protein. Some dairy and very few starchy carbs (bread, pasta, rice, etc). Never eat fast food- all of our food has always been home cooked and healthy- just too much of it! Have been allowing Sundays as a day for adding back wine, desserts and a starchy item... this has satisfied me, knowing that one day per week can include some of my "fun" foods. My trips to the gym have been consistent, 5 days per week, with moderate weight lifting 3 days per week and run- walking on the treadmill 2 days per week. I want to step up the lifting number of reps and weight and see what happens between now and the end of Dec.
Would love to shoot for 145. By Christmas?
I have been working hard at approaching this from a different place that sees what I am doing as maintainable, so that this loss is sustainable and not another visit to the bottom of the yo yo string that I have been doing, now, for 30 years!
I've been listening to Half Size Me podcast for months, now, and trying to indoctrinate myself into understanding weight maintenance. Also have purchased Judith Beck's book on cognitive therapy for weight loss with the same goal in mind of changing attitudes and behavior for long term weightless success. I want to put all of my fat clothes in the thrift store bin but am afraid. I've done that before and then, months later, have resentfully gone out and bought new clothes in larger sizes as I've regained the weight. By hanging onto these clothes, I am telling myself that I don't believe that I can stay here... maybe tossing them will be a convicting moment...?
