With each day of the Christmas season come entirely new distractions and temptations along this journey. Today was a delicious fajita lunch for a graduation/birthday party for some of my coworkers. Next week I'll have a Christmas social for a study group I'm part of for work. Then comes office parties and dinners. I haven't even gotten to the delicious Christmas foods and treats I know Bekah will be making. Then there is the feasting for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Just thinking about all of this becomes overwhelming. Then I remember how I've come this far. I plan ahead and prepare to count my calories and track my intake. I think about each of you and my desire to succeed so that you can find encouragement in my success. It's because of planning and accountability that I know I will be able to continue to lose weight this month. It's for these reasons that I don't dread the holidays.
I know that all of you are here to find out how much I've lost this week. My loss this week is about a half pound less than I was hoping for, but it is still a great amount. I am very happy to report that as of this morning I am another 3 lbs. down. This brings me to an even 307 lbs. with a total loss of 59.2 lbs. I am still trying to hit my milestone goal of 300 lbs. by Christmas, but this will not be an easy task. I need to average at least 3.5 lbs. per week. I am committed to sticking to my processes and exercising hard, so you all just cheer me on as I fight for this goal. Regardless if I meet it before or after Christmas, one thing is for sure. I am losing my butter half!
Another day of tracking calories and exercise. Bekah made some amazing BBQ chicken tonight. It was absolutely delicious!
