Vacation came and went. I worked very hard in the days leading up to vacation but I saw little success. I did not lose a single stinking pound, despite my efforts! I'm not going to say I was perfect, because I wasn't, but I was certainly trying! And then of course there was vacation, I didn't "fall off the wagon" but I chose not to worry about my weight loss efforts while I was there. I mean seriously, we were taking a once in a lifetime trip! I didn't gain anything so that's a plus.
Now that I am back, I am jumping all in. I am making some drastic and much needed changes and I cannot wait to start feeling and looking better. I am down to only about 3 months until wedding time and I WILL NOT FAIL! I am going to start with primarily clean eating. Clean eating groceries cost money and many times we are strapped for time on cooking meals, but I have some great recipes to try. I'm also continuing my workouts - 21 Day Fix is the workout of choice right now. I may throw in some Turbo Fire here and there.
When I jumped back in here about a month ago, I did not retake my measurements. I just never got around to it. This morning when I popped out of bed for my early workout, I weighed and I took new measurements. I have official starting progress information to go by. With any luck - maybe I will lose the first 30 pounds by the wedding. However, I would also just be happy to lose 1 pants size by wedding time. Obviously my overall goal is far more than that, but short term goals are important too.
This isn't a long update, but it keeps me accountable and you in the loop. More to come!
I apologize for the language in this picture, but it fits the bill...
