Not Too Shabby

So, after my weight had gone up a couple of pounds – which didn’t surprise me as I had been bloated and feeling somewhat constipated – it went back down to 271.4; I am hoping to be around 265 – 268 by next Tuesday morning for the weigh in here at work.

I feel like I am incredibly conscious of what I have been eating and how much and trying to make healthier choices. I had bought a couple of bottles of sparkling water and it is delicious and it is a nice alternative when I am more in the mood for soda. I am really trying to pay close attention to portion sizes as I think that is one of the biggest challenges I have. In addition to that, giving up the chocolate candy hasn’t been easy but I think has made a huge difference.

A lot of the bloating has gone away, I have more energy and my pants are fitting me looser – all giving me motivation… yay! I have 2.6 pounds to lose and then I will get myself new sneakers as these pounds or so have been the hardest thing I have ever had to do – and this from a woman who has given birth. I have lost and gain this weight so many times that I would be skinny if it was all loss :) That said, while we were hiking/ walking on Saturday my foot really started bothering me because my sneaks were not giving me near enough support… I am going to start looking up some good sneakers online so I am prepared when it is my turn to buy!

I am looking forward to an awesome week – although five pounds may be a stretch that is my goal. (the only thing I am scared about is hubby is going away for the weekend and I enjoy eating when I am alone – yikes!)
