Holy smokes, folks. This morning I smashed my goal of breaking into the 170s – at 177.5! Woo hoo! I’ve been dancing around the 180 – 183 range for SEVEN WEEKS and I’ve finally beat this plateau! (Actually, I’m not convinced that it was a plateau per se, but rather the effect of not doing things right – eating too much, working out too little, etc. but I’ll go with plateau…)
I can’t even describe how thrilled I am to be at this weight. This is the lightest I’ve been since I was on my way up – and I intend for that to be the case at every new weight I hit (meaning I’ll never go back up again!). I’m certainly back in the eating right, logging, exercising groove again. It all just seems so natural now that I’m back into it. In fact, yesterday I was feeling really jazzed to run – so I did. That’s such a rare thing for me – or at least used to be. It’s happening more and more frequently as of late!
How’s everyone else doing? Resisting the Skittles (literally or figuratively)? Just remember that you can do it, and you’ll feel better both physically and mentally when you do: Your body will function better and you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment at doing what you know you SHOULD do, rather than guilt over giving in to temptation.
Step. Away. From. The. Skittles.
PS – I’ll take that high five now!
