Today was the day that I was supposed to hit my first goal weight. Sadly this did not happen, but I am back down from last week which is a plus! So I officially lost 2lbs. I have been giving you guys a lot of great advice, but I admit I haven't been following my own advice to a tee. This morning I also woke up with a sore throat. So not good! The only benefit about being under the weather is that you consume a lot of liquids, for me it's water with lemon and a whole lot of tea. If you have lost your sense of smell and taste than you are likely not to eat as much either. Good for your waste line, but not my idea of fun!
I am a bit bummed out that I didn't lose my 5lbs, but I only have myself to blame for this lol Nevertheless I will continue on. I do have an end goal in mind and I am not going to forget about that. I am however not going to set any goals for myself over the next 2 weeks. With Christmas just around the corner it is difficult to try and lose those nasty pounds plus with all the running around it's tough to stay on track. So like everyone else I will begin the dieting game again come January.
That doesn't mean I am going to go out and gorge myself on cookies, pies and chocolate. I have every intention of maintaining my healthy lifestyle. I am going to keep my sugar consumption a limit and continue exercising. I have to find something else physical over the next few weeks because my Zumba class is over at the end of the week until the beginning of January again. I will have to throw in a few more hikes with the dog I think. Fortunately with her being a border collie I am forced to keep moving! I have started some new games with her in the house (this breed needs a job) and this involves both of us going up and the down stairs quite a bit. Excellent for my rear end!
Tune in for tomorrows blog because I am going to put together some diets that I have tried in the past and have been successful with and I am also going to discuss some other diets that I have tried that work right away, but once you stop those pounds come flooding back...what's the point!
These diets are not made for everyone, but if you are interested in changing your lifestyle a bit more drastically or if you are like me and need to see results quicker than maybe some of these suggestions will help you.
