Sorry I was MIA last week. I can't even say I've been busy as an excuse. I officially hit 213 this week which puts me at 40 lbs down! For the first time I really feel like I'm having to work for every pound at this point. I know that I shouldn't really be "fighting" for the weightloss until I'm much closer to my final goals, but I feel like it's just so slow right now. I've been extra good the last week or two trying to undo the damage from the beginning of the month. It's working, just not as fast as I'd like. I've been proud of myself though. Working from home teaching online I was concerned I would be eating and snacking all the time. It's been the opposite. I've been doing well and not snacking throughout the day.
I made a giant pot of beef and vegetable soup yesterday with cornbread. It was delicious, and some of my favorite comfort foods. It's also pretty low calorie, and good for me. WIN WIN. Sorry I didn't get a picture... I thought about it halfway through eating it. lol.
I'll be super happy if I can hit a 2 lb weight loss this week. That will put me almost at the 210 mark, and I'd like to at least be in the 20_ something by my birthday. I know that I really didn't do that much damage to the overall trend in early May, but I'm really pissed at myself. I feel like if I hadn't have splurged so much I would actually be at 200 or one-derland. I know that's probably not the case, but I'm still frustrated with myself.
I had a doctor's appointment last Friday, and I'm going to get my first round of blood work to establish a base on Wednesday. The doctor commented, and asked if I was purposefully losing weight, and that I was doing great. He seemed genuinely surprised and congratulatory. It was oddly satisfying. lol.
