Renewed vigor!

It is so very interesting how when I don't stay current on my blogs, I don't hold myself as accountable for my weightloss. Don't get me wrong, the Band keeps me from going nutso and losing all control. But I find if I'm not logging my goings on, I also don't police myself as much as I should.

 

I have found that this journey is FULL of recommittments and that's exactly what I'm doing today. I need to lose 6.6 lbs. to reach the 75 lbs. lost mark. I'm committing today to do that by the end of the month. It is not by any means an aggressive goal for me, but it is enough to make me work at it. I'm going to New Orleans the first weekend in October and I think it would be lovely to have reached my goal. It starts with a 2 mile run today at lunch!!

 

I'm getting a fill tomorrow, so that should help with the hunger. While it is nice to have some flexibility on what I can eat, it is harder to make good choices when you are hungry. DUH! I guess that just brings me right back to why I started this process!! Although my allergies are causing some acid reflux and I'm sure that tightening the Band will make it worse. I will ask the doc about that tomorrow.

 

Today is the day for picture updates. I have attached full body shots for today, one month ago, and the start. Also attached are head shots from today and the start. I'm really feeling good!! Tomorrow will be the super fun spandex pics. Ha!

Absolutely amazing!! even my husband said so!! I am with you on the accountability part. Even though I dont blog but I feel that if I do not get on here and "connect" with everyone that I am not focused. I have enough non band medical issues that cause set backs so I need to do the "easy" ones like log on! I have 9 lbs left to reach my final goal. I am so excited! I know you can reach you 6 lbs..you have the determination. Also, if I didn't say it before congrats on the 5k! Keep up the great work..looking forward to the next blog!
