Losing it challenge
So close yet so far away!
Two weeks ago I was just two pounds away from my goal weight and seven pounds away from my dream weight.
After a vacation and several cheating sessions later, I am officially 0.8 lbs away.
So close. Yet so far away.
I know it’s not really “far away” & some of you are totally rolling your eyes at me. But I’ve fluctuated up and down and all around the 0.8 marker this entire week. And where do I stand the end of this week? The same exact place I stood the end of last week.
So close. Yet so far away.
I want the number!!!
And at the same time, as much as I want to see that “goal number” I’ve realized two very important things. My goal weight is completely possible. And maybe even more so, my dream weight is possible.
August is a big celebration month in the it’s come 2 this household. We celebrate Evan’s birthday, Megan’s birthday and our Wedding Anniversary within a period of 15 days. And with celebrations come cake and yummy food!
So I’m determined to get hit my goal before August 1st. Still eating my Proteins, Veggies, Fruits & Whole Wheat combined with lots & lots of water!!
And then after all this, I’m going to enjoy a slice of cake!!

Oh man, I feel your pain! Since my second daughter was born in June ‘09 I’ve been trying to hit my goal weight. In April I was .5 pounds away. I ran a half marathon. And guess what?! I was still .5 pounds away. Grrr…. I just wanted the number to change for just one day. It finally did. But didn’t last long.
Still I figure so long as it’s at least 1-2 pounds around my goal I’ll take it.

Agree! 1-2 pounds within will be perfect – after I at least see the number once;)
