8 of June
Topic of the day: Review progress and reflect
How did your first week go?
Tell us about one thing (or 5) you did great last week?
Is the goal you set up still serving you and acheivable? It's ok to adjust your approach if you wish to!
What will you do different next week, if anything?
if you wish to report % progress, I will track that too
First, I wanted to thank you guys for all your "Woohoos" you posted yesterday. The last day or two, and especially today, I am feeling burdened by other people's problems. Logging and seeing OTHER other-people's woohoo's balanced that a bit, oddly enough.
So, allow me to add my belated "Woohoos" to the list.
I had to buy new clothes for the trip. I never thought size 14 pants/shorts would seem like a GOOD thing, but here we are. I am an unrepentant thrift shopper, so it's a huge mix of brands, so I feel confident in saying that that's really my size. To be honest, there were 2 size 16s in the mix. One fits well, the other is loose, but it was SO cute, and with my plans to be awful for 2 weeks, having a set of "fat pants" along is probably a good idea. ;P All of my bigger stuff is already either handed-down to Mom and my niece or in the goodwill pile. I'm also proud of myself for putting back all the things that were "meh," rather than, "YES!" Because with the super cheap prices (not only was it thrift, it was half-price day!) and the "hey look at me in shorts!" factor, there was the temptation to buy too much.
As for Progress, I actually am already at 100%. (Aunt Flo visits around the beginning of the month, so my starting numbers are always dubious.) So since I have 2 weeks to kill, I've set my next goal to reach 20%-since-January 2017, which is the goal I'll probably STILL be working on after I get back next month. (Even if I get it, I expect some backsliding... in fact, I look FORWARD to it. Mwhahaha!) So, with my NEW goal, I am at 50% for the month. To get to 20% loss, I need to lose 2.5 more lbs.
What I did great last week? I took bites. I took bites of things that looked/sounded good, or that my kids wanted me to try, and then I said "yep that's good," or "nope, that's gross," and then I stopped. Yesterday was French fries. I swiped a few from the kiddos because they smelled good. And then I ate MY healthy food instead. Today it was their fish sticks. Those were gross, I spit that bite out!
One little "poor-little-me" whine, though. Not only is today the end of my freedom (school lets out in about 2 minutes,) but DD13 ended up getting sent home sick. I had stuff to do before they invaded. BOOOO Hiss!!!!
PS- I loved Black Widow in that scene. All that butt-kicking AND perfect hair...
