Ups and downs

Since my last post, my weight was all over the board! It was never lower than 155, but at night it was up to 158.5! My thyroid meds have been adjusted and I'm guessing that had a little to do with my changes in weight. I was also really ridiculously busy and most likely didn't drink enough water on a daily basis and didn't "hit it hard" like I said I would! So my hubby and I talked about doing another raw/green cleanse this coming week! I have my 15 year highschool reunion coming up the day after Thanksgiving, and I sure would like to look good for it. Actually, more important than that, I want to feel good...back to my old self (pre crazy thyroid stuff)!! I promise to post again on Sunday to give you the gameplan for my next cleanse! I'd love any encouragement you want to send my way! Thank you!! And I hope you are doing well on whatever journey you are on.Whether it be weight or something entirely different, I'd love to be able to encourage you somehow!

Down one more!

So happy to be down one more pound! I'm going to hit it hard this week to see if I can drop at least two more by next Monday. I'll post my strategy tonight! UPDATE: Life got in the way...I'll be posting my strategy sometime "soon"!

Slow and steady

Well, it has been a little while since my last post, but I have slowly been dropping a half pound here and a half pound there! And I'm glad to report that I am now down a total of 20 pounds from my high water mark of 177! I started this blog at 170, so I've lost 13 since 7/10/11!
It has not been all downhill. Some days I wake up and I'm a pound or 3 up, but most likely it is always due to water weight...ie. I had too much salty food and/or didn't consume enough water the day before. It is funny how that works. If you drink more water you retain less water! Making sure you drink at VERY minimum 8 - 8oz glasses of water each day is essential to healthy weight loss.
So, I've been having some thoughts on perspective lately and I will try to post on that real soon!
I can tell you I am thrilled to be headed into the holiday "eating season" 20 pounds down. This will give me just the motivation I need to keep plugging away and not succumb to overeating of Halloween candy, Thanksgiving goodies, and Christmas yummieness! How great will it be to see January 1st, 2012 almost at my goal weight...INSTEAD of just starting!
I hope some of this may help you find just the motivation you need to start becoming a healthier you!
