This is the very, very, very late edition of week twenty-four’s weigh in. Sorry, folks. I honestly did not intend to neglect you so through the holiday, but it happened.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. My girlies were totally stoked since Santa went all out for them this year (thanks, Santa!) and got them both a new bike – complete with helmets and pads…among a million other things that Mom refuses to buy (like Play-Doh – LOL).
Anyway, onto weigh in for December 25th. I weighed in at 249.4 on that morning, ladies and gents. How excited was I that I hit the 240’s? Well, let us just suffice it to say I was about as happy as my chicklets opening all their beautifully wrapped gifts. That also means, of course, I successfully met my Christmas goal of 250…just barely, but I did make it!!! My total for 24 weeks is 65.6 pounds. Fabulous.
I behaved throughout the holiday weekend…completely. I did not partake in any dessert (other than the fruit I brought to my mother’s parents’ house) and I did not eat anything I would not have eaten on any other day. In fact, when I weighed this morning, I am already down from Sunday. Not a whole lot because my gym schedule has been totally wonky since last Friday…but still down.
My next goal is 225 by 2/25 (my 30th birthday). So, I have a little less than two months to kick it up and melt it off. I have ~24 pounds to lose in 59 days to meet that goal. Will I make it? I certainly hope so, but I also realize that I may fall a little short. After all, the weight cannot possibly keep coming off at the rate it has been…can it? We shall see.
I am meeting with Denise tonight since our usual Sunday appointments are not possible (with Christmas and New Year’s falling on those days). Here’s to another healthy butt-kicking from my amazing trainer.
How was your holiday? Did you gain, lose, or maintain over this past weekend?
