I am leaving for Atlanta in the morning and I will be gone for the rest of the month. So, what's my plan for keeping it together and continuing to lose weight?
Here is the plan. I am going to join the local YMCA for a month. The director normally gives me a free pass because of my sister and brother-in-law's contribution. I can definitely get my fitness on while at home. The food---hmmmmmmmm- what to do? The first weekend I plan on going of the Tour of Food for my birthday and I must, I mean, I must have birthday cake. In order to counteract this, I will have to exercise and plan my meals better to compensate for the lushiness and goodness of all the Top Chef food. After Monday, the dread begins because I seriously want to cut out all white stuff from my diet for about 2 weeks or maybe even a month. No white stuff means sugar, flour, potatoes, rice, pasta, or anything I think is yummy. This will take some discipline but I know it will work.
I lost 1.5 lbs since last week. It falls right in line with the 1-2 lbs you should lose each week for healthy weight loss but I feel like I can do more. I think I can at least do 2.5- 3 lbs for the first few weeks. Baby steps, right. I am proud of myself for what I've lost but I know I will have to be more consistent and focused on my goal.
Keep sending me your feedback. I have been so encouraged by it all. Love Ya!!!

Congrats!! Congrats!!! Take pride in the weight loss, even if it isn't what you wanted (of course i got that from Justine and Beth) LOL!!! But no really relish in the fact that you are moving in the right direction, no matter how small it may seem in the beginning.
