I've been quiet about my weight (in actual numbers) since the huge gain and setback I had this summer. To the point where I didn't even weigh myself when I first got back from vacation. If you noticed (if you didn't, you can look now), I still haven't changed the ticker on the top of my page since now that is a goal I HAVE to get back to. If I change it to my current weight it's like admitting defeat (in my mind). So now it can be said, that I am officially almost back to the point I originally started. =) Not 151 lbs, but I'm at 157.5 lbs. Considering I haven't worked out in over a week, I'm fairly happy about it, mostly its due to a lack of appetite since I've been sick, but considering Halloween was on Monday (and there's a TON of candy at our house), I'll take it.
My new short-term goal is to get back down to 151 lbs by the holidays. Its only 20 days until Thanksgiving, so to do it before then would be trying to lose a little bit over 2 lbs a week. Worst-case scenario is to be down at least to that by Christmas. Even if there are some days I splurge, as long as I still work out, losing an average of a pound a week over the next 6 1/2 weeks doesn't seem that unrealistic, even over the holidays. My next blog weigh-in will be either Dec 19th or 20th, and we'll see how I do.
