I started getting more committed to weight loss again September 10. After taking the summer off because I reached a plateau and lost motivation I finally was able to force myself to start again. Its so hard!!!! I ended up losing 4 lbs in 3 weeks. I am very pleased with that! Of course i wish I broke into the -70′s!!!! lol, I have gotten back into the gym after not going for months. I go twice during the week and once on the weekend. I would love to go more but I don’t want to burn myself out and then end up not going at all again. I am trying to be more realistic this time around. I want to be able to maintain this journey.

September 10, 2016 -64.8

September 30, 3016 -68.8

I have been afraid to step on the scale the last few months because I have been doing so badly with my eating and exercising. I didn’t want to know the truth. When I woke up this morning I finally got the courage up to step on the scale. Better to know the truth at this point. I have been feeling so bad about my body lately..feeling huge…I was bracing for the worse..maybe even a 15-20 lb gain, but when i was stepped on the scale i was pleasantly surprised. I only gained 5 lbs. 5 lbs!!! I can deal with that. Now to get serious with weight loss again. I want to lose 15 lbs by Jan 1, 2017..which is only a lb a week. I can do this!!!!…Hopefully..I wish I wasn’t always doubting myself. : / I am proud of myself for actually stepping on the scale again in over 2 months.
