30 lbs to lose!

So once again I'm recommitting to this weight loss thing so I can lose this last 30lbs to be at my goal. I have been struggling lately with motivation, I have none & it is very frustrating because I could of been at a different place than where I am now. Today is a new day & I'm praying this new found motivation sticks. My sister-in-law got engaged & her wedding is in Fall 2008 & my friend just got engaged as well & her wedding will be in late summer 2008 & I'm a bridesmaid. We are also going to Disneyland & the Disney cruise in Fall 2008, so you would think these events would be motivation enough! November 3rd will be my first weigh-in & hopefully I'll be able to tell you all that I lost weight.

Realization!

In these last 4 weeks I have spent more time eating whatever I wanted & lot's of it. I've come to the realization that this weight loss thing is about what you eat! It has been too easy to gain back 10 lbs. I've also realized that this weight gain has been entirely my fault, & the only way to rectify the situation is to bust my butt & eat properly. These last few days I've already seen the scale go back down which reaffirms to me that I have to eat properly. I can still reach my goal for Christmas if I loose 1.7 lbs/week which I know is possible, but I think right now I'll be happy just by eating the right things & seeing the scale consistently move downward & not go back up!
