So I had a weight loss goal to be a specific weight by Thanksgiving. I think I was 2 pounds shy of the goal (can't remember what the number was). I then set another goal to be under 200 by Christmas and again I did not reach my goal. So I thought well ok then. Can I get under 200 by start of the new year? And I have been doing decent but I had a stressful few days. Father in law is in hospital for congestive heart failure which has caused pneumonia and A-fib. Needless to say he's not doing so good.
So I was out running a couple errands Saturday and stopped in the Christmas section at the store to see what they put on sale and ended up with box of chocolates and box of Cookies at half price. Yesterday I proceeded to eat several cookies (over the course of the day) and a couple chocolates. I woke this morning thinking well I blew it. Not meeting my mini goal this holiday either. I weigh daily (except forgot to weigh Saturday while getting ready to head to hospital) so I know where I am and so there are no surprises. So, I stepped on the scale to check the damage and was like well it could have been worse. Only up 0.8 and went to step off the scale but looked at it a second time. It wasn't 202.8 like I thought. It was 200.8 I had to do a double take. I had lost 1.2 in 2 days. So I'm thinking there might be a chance to reach my mini goal by New Years day after all.
So please send that precious little weight loss fairy to my house. I need some good news for New Years.
