So, after my sick day, I weighed in yesterday and rejoiced at seeing that I was now down 13 pounds! YAY ME! Then I weighed in this morning and it seems I'd already gained the water weight back from having been sick and I'm still down 10 pounds. Oh well. I was really happy for a whole day, and that was nice.
But seeing that new number on the scale, that number that was only seven pounds away from my pre-Max weight, gave me new motivation. I've decided to challenge myself in September to loose 10 pounds. The real challenge is the fact that at the end of September we're going on our first family vacation as a family of four, and I have never in my life stayed on a diet while on vacation. So, it might not work out so well, but doggone it, I'm gonna try! If all goes well, I will be returning from San Diego at my pre-Max weight.
I'm going to try to do a weekly check-in to report on my progress. My plan is to go to the gym four days a week at a minimum (my goal is to do 45 minutes of cardio and a little bit of strength training) and lower my calorie intake a bit (Max is definately not starving to death on my current diet, I think I can start working with a lower calorie diet now) The challenge begins tomorrow! Wish me luck!
