It happens every time. We get comfortable. Lazy. Lose momentum and lack motivation. I lost 50 pounds...yes, I said FIFTY! (That's about the weight of my 5 year old son.) While I realize that is a huge accomplishment, I also realize its not enough.
When I was hit that big milestone, I'd look at myself in the mirror and think wow- I look great! For 3 kids, and being just 6 months postpartum, I look better than great! Then everything settled into its new place. Yeah, not looking so great anymore. I mean, I know I don't look like an elephant, but I can do much better.
So this morning I decided to set goals in smaller intervals that are easier to reach. First goal is to get to 148lbs.. That's easy enough, and will put me a measly 10 pounds from the goal weight. Losing 5 pounds is easy peasy...so I give myself 2 weeks to get there. Chances are, I will hit that in less than 2 weeks, so that will be a nice bonus!
Then I will be in the home stretch. 10 pounds until goal weight. As I settle into my new figure, I realize that I may need to lose more on top of that and definitely work on toning some trouble spots. But, if I hit 138, I will have accomplished my goal. To be back to prepregnancy weight!
I'm posting this because I lacked motivation in the last couple of months. I don't want to be comfortable! I want to count my calories, burn some fat, and look forward to my morning weigh-ins! Its the basic fundamentals of weight loss. If you are reading this, chances are you've battled a weight loss at some point in your life too. Will you help me to reach my goal? Please?
Today's Weight: 153.2 lbs.
