I’ve been working on losing the same 10-pounds since July. In early July, I hit my all time high since reaching my goal weight in 2009 when I weighed in at a whopping 253 pounds. Since that time, I have started collecting 5-pound stars as I work my way back down the scale. There is just something motivating about getting excited for a star sticker!
I had re-committed back in July and had been
successful in losing for several weeks.
I was so close to getting my 10-pound star but never quite got
there. While I had kept off some of the weight I lost,
that 10-pound start was just dangling out there like a carrot. I was super
stoked when I earned it at my Monday night meeting.
Monday was a super packed day. I woke up and headed straight to my training
session with Tyson. I drove back home
and showered then met my friends Danielle and Kate to walk the mall. I knew the scale at home was down but I didn’t
quite expect a three pound loss once I got to my meeting. I was nervous my activity might hinder it but
perhaps it helped give it a boost?
Either way, I was happy. I met up
with my friend Phoenix and Brenda later in the evening for some much needed
girlfriend time. It was twice the
activity and quadruple the friends.
I have a funny story: I was pulled over by one of our local
agencies as we were driving to Matador for a drink and some chips and
salsa. I had forgotten to turn my
headlights back on after we left the gas station from returning a Red Box. We had a good laugh but then I was freaked
out the rest of the night about having a drink and then driving home
later. I actually stuck to just one beer
and drank Coke Zero the rest of the night!
I saved myself some alcohol points and instead used them for chips and
salsa. It was a good trade to me!
We got our new meeting materials on Monday so I’m
in the process of reading over it all.
Not major changes but I am looking forward to some new meal ideas.
