After months and months of seeing the scale jump up and then down and then up and then down and then rest around where I started...I'm FINALLY seeing the numbers head down.
It's slow, but it's very consistent. I saw the number on the home scale this morning at a place it hasn't been since I did an all-vegetable fast back in January (and trust me, I'm not vegetable fasting right now). I've been very careful about what I'm eating (following guidelines set by the "You...On A Diet" book. I'm still hitting the gym consistently and increasing the intensity of my workouts - AND IT'S PAYING OFF!!!
What's my next goal? I stopped setting "date" and "quantity" goals. I'm just going for being consistent and real about my diet and exercise, knowing that this is it. I can't go back to my old self, but I can also find times to enjoy those things that I like (like a Coke or chips). I've found some healthier alternatives to my snacking - air-popped popcorn with Butter spray and garlic salt instead of a 1/4 stick of butter; 1 oz. of dark chocolate instead of a package of M&M's; Lots of water and OJ instead of Coke and Coffee...
I do plan on celebrating milestones, though. I'm happy to hit the 2-teens. Soon, 1-90's - that's when I told Trainer-Sue I'd take her out to lunch! Hopefully, that will happen before Thanksgiving.
Alright - back to work.
