Good Morning,
I'm really not sure where to begin. I have not lost any weight this week. On the other hand, I have not gained. My weight this morning (on my home scale) is 180.0 lbs.
I would really like to be losing, but at the same time, I am not really disappointed with my progress. I've lost 10+ lbs this month. And for that, I am very proud. I see a big difference in my body shape, and the way that my clothes fit. Also, many people have made comments about my success.
Perhaps the best thing, is that I maintain my motivation and I know that I can keep going and that I will see more success down the road.
As I mentioned in my last post, my husband is now on holidays. This past week we have had 3 of my step-children staying with us. We spent most of the week at a cottage. There have certainly been challenges. For one thing, it can be very stressful at times because they are not my kids. So when they behave inappropriately or are fighting amongst themselves, I often feel helpless. It's also stressful to spend time with someone else's kids when you are desperate for your own.
We celebrated my step-daughter's birthday at the cottage. My husband picked up a beautiful chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It looked delicious. Still, I was not tempted.
Today, my husband and I leave on our honeymoon. We are going to Cuba for 1 week. I am determined to keep on track. I know I will be able to eat properly down there. The challenge will be the bar. I am not a big drinker. In fact, I typically prefer 'virgin' versions -... I bought several bottles of sugar free drink mixes to take a long with me. I am hoping that this will keep on track. For those who don't know, there are many varieties of sugar free drink mixes such as, Appletini, mojito, cosmopolitan, and even low carb Pina Colada. Hopefully this is going to keep me on track.
I plan to do lots of swimming and walking along the beach. Fingers crossed that I maintain the resolve to behave myself.
Once holidays are over, I really want to begin to incorporate more exercise into my day. I am determined to lose weight. And I am ready to step up my efforts.
Please wish me luck in Cuba!
