I've been a blog slacker. I haven't had much to share aside from the 'still trucking along, still having issues with clothes' stuff I've already shared.
One thing I can blog about soon is a shift I've seen in myself from super-duper strict to a little relaxation. Not gorging (I can't anyway!) but just being more chill. I think it's a good exercise to 'prove' to myself that it's not all or nothing. This is a lifestyle. Eating well 90% of the time with some 'cheats' added in still works. I'm still losing weight! In the past I feel like I'd have a bad day or two and go off completely. Having this new smaller stomach makes it impossible to go too far off track at a given meal and, in general, is a constant reminder that I *can't* revert to my former ways of eating even if I wanted to. This is a good thing.
Annnnyway, what I came here today to share is that I'm down officially 60 pounds! I was down 50 at the two month mark and I set an unofficial goal of 10 pounds in month three. I've already hit it with 9 days left to go! Maybe I'll hit more like 12 pounds when it's all said and done.
I am headed to Hawaii in the end of October and I really want to be down 100 pounds by then. It sounds aggressive, because it assumes losing about 8-10 pounds each month. But if I really step it up at the Gym it may just be possible. That would make me the lowest weight I can recall being as an adult! Seems like a fantasy.
