Week 52, Day 7
So here I am, at the end of another year of a long journey. Today's weight: 241.8. I've officially lost 10 pounds this year. I have not achieved my goal for the end of the year. That's ok, though. I still have a long way ahead of me, and I think I'm on the right path. The last weeks have been a little weird for me, with a new work schedule and some other factors. I was actually surprised not to have gain anything, really.
SuperMan and I have decided to start budgeting. We will plan our meals for the week ahead of time, so we know what to buy and also to work it around what's on sale. This way, it'll be easier to plan our week. He's lost his job this month, so he isn't as active as he used to be. After going down into the 240's, he's now close to 260 and he's not happy with that. So we're both motivated to do better with our diet and lifestyle in general.
I also had another motivation, so to speak. We want to go on a vacation down South (like Mexico or Jamaica, or something), in 2013, and I think that it'd be awesome if I'd feel better about myself enough to wear a bathing suit in public. I go to the pool once in a while, but am so self-conscious it's unreal. I'd like to feel confident (or confident-er) in a bathing suit. New goal for this new year coming.
This makes me think about the fact that I'm almost, almost, so close to being back to my weight of 4 years ago. And I'd really like to be under it before the end of January. So.. Here's to making more efforts!
Good luck with everything, everyone, and may this new year bring you what your heart desires.
