This morning I was dreading getting out of bed because I had to face the scale. I finally decided to get out of bed and weigh myself... I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see the number... 205.0!!!! I reached my goal of 205 by the 15th!!!! I couldn't believe it... I actually jumped up and down. I'm so proud of myself for sticking with this and reaching every goal that I have set for myself. The next goal is 200 by January 1st! This is going to be a tough one with Christmas coming up... I just need to stay focused and not overeat. I won't be discouraged though if I don't reach this goal I will just keep going. I'm down 6.2 lbs since the 1st and a total of 14.4 lbs since I restarted this journey.
Today at the gym I did 50 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. I was so driven to push myself after I saw the scale it was easy to keep going. The new music helped too. My knee is almost 100% better. I still won't jog on it for at least a month... it is so hard to not want to jog but now that I'm seeing results without jogging it is easier to let my knee rest. I actually was told by 2 people today that I'm looking good and they could tell that I've lost weight! That is a great motivator. Plus I'm really close to fitting comfortably into my size 16 jeans!!!
I stuck to my cleanse today. Today will be my last full day on the cleanse... tomorrow I will only do the cleanse until the evening. I drank a gallon of water already today and plan on drinking even more. I think that the way for me to make it through the holidays and still lose weight is to continue the cleanse on the days that there isn't lunch or dinner with the family or special occasions like Saturday morning. I think it will be pretty easy to do this.
Tomorrow is the Christmas Party... I can't wait to wear my cocktail dress. I'm really looking forward to it... I just have to keep from overeating. We are planning on going out to breakfast Saturday which will be nice. I'm fully aware that I might gain some weight back after this weekend but I just need to remind myself that it is ok and to just keep pushing myself.
I'm really motivated to keep going. This time I will stick with this.
Let the lbs melt!!!
