It's not magic! - Weighty Issues

Main

When I stick to my plan I lose weight, novel concept, no? I was 194.4 today, which is a new low, and attributed solely to being consistently on plan without any veering this week. I shouldn't be surprised, but a part of me is. I know how the science and chemistry of weight loss works and yet, when I have spent some time 'in the wilderness' of complacency, so to speak, it always seems just a little bit like magic to get back on the trail and see that my hard work actually DOES net me results when I don't self-sabotage.

I have been dreadfully lazy on my exercise, working on my sewing or kitchen organization instead, but I'm not sweating it. With me, the eating has always been the most crucial side of the equation. I like working out, but in a stressful week like this one I am trying to tread water and not burn out before my husband is available to help, and if that necessitates me taking a nap or moderating my exercise, so be it!

We'll talk about sabotage another day, but needless to say my monthly craft night is coming up. I am sticking firmly in the 'bring a healthy snack and eat it!' camp this month, because I really want to get this weight off. I dawdled for months and have been doing better, but I'm done with the 190's. No more being psyched out, I'm ready to leave them for good. That includes finally being ready to say NO to extra calories I don't need. Getting to this point took some time, I couldn't force it, but I am certainly thrilled to be here now!

I know you can stick to your healthy snack on your craft night! You will say goodbye to the 190's before you know it!

Hi Artic Mama! I followed your link here from 3fatchicks. I'm also trying to get past the 190's at 5'3". I've been negligent in my calorie counting - BIG plateau for 2 months - go figure. So, I'm back logging in every bite at caloriecount.com and REALLY watching what I eat. PLUS - I'll be upping my cardio and trying to burn fat instead of just building muscle. Hopefully I'll be under 190 in no more than 2 weeks.

By the way the photo of you and the baby is SO beautiful!
