Belly be gone!

lots of stuff to share…but not sure how much rambling i can do right now…

so, after 3 weeks of not going to meetings/weigh in (was out of town the past 3 weekends), i was down 2.8 AND…….made my 10%!!!  woo hoo!!! 

now, don’t get me wrong, i will relish all of that.  here’s the shocker - i haven’t been on plan or exercising these past 3 weeks.  huh?!?!?!  i think i got in 2 official work outs in that time.  and, the first couple of days of vacation were definitely filled with lots of walking.  LOTS!!!  i have no problem walking a lot, but we walked so much that my feet hurt!  as well as my legs a little.  and we did a leisurely couple mile hike down the top of the mountain.  and the first weekend i missed WI i was running around for 2 days straight helping my mom clean up the house and get it ready for people to come over.  so i guess i got a lot of movement in during all the time i was out.  but the eating…well, i know i did enjoy myself during all of the time i was out of town.  AND, i ate chinese food last night.  i know…the night before WI is not the best time to eat chinese!  hello SALT!!!  but i did…

ok…with that…i started talking to my leader about goal weight.  she said i could easily do it now.  i’m towards the top of healthy BMI - 23.8.  however, i was initially making my goal 5 lbs lighter than i am (BMI - 22.9), with the hopes of going even lower than that.  hmmm…i may have my current weight as my goal weight.  i just hope i keep motivated to keep losing.  esp since my ultimate ultimate ultimate goal is to get into a bikini.  but that would definitely require lots of weight training.  i have a belly.  i will probably always have a belly and don’t know that i’ll ever be comfortable in a bikini.  my mom is built the same way.  but that’s my own demon to deal with. 

don’t get me wrong - i am VERY happy that i made the 10% and that i am at my current weight.  i will definitely pat myself on the back and NOT ruin it by eating lots of chocolate!!!  :)  he he he

happy weekend to all!
