Can you believe that I have officially been at/below by goal weight of 145 lbs for FOUR years now? I got to my goal weight on December 17, 2010.
That's about 120lbs lost. And I've kept it off.
This is a HUGE accomplishment for me.
Why?
For me, this weight loss journey is about KEEPING the weight off.
Not just losing the weight.
Here's today's weigh-in pic:
As you can see from today's weigh-in, the holidays are here.
I am up a few pounds from last week, but still below my goal weight.
I have been enjoying all of those cookies and treats that get passed around the office and parties this time of year. I am not too worried about it. The 2-3 pounds up and down the scale don't phase me any more. This process is all about what happens in "maintenance."
Now how about a few updates on what I've been up to for the holidays:
I got my crafty-ness on with the kittehs and made Christmas paw print ornaments:
We cruised around in our own backyard and went olive oil tasting in the Wine Country. Here's the official "let's-play-tourist-and-stand-in-the-vineyards" photo from that day:
As you can see, life goes on.
I still do all the things I need to do be healthy:
--I make correct food choices and portion sizes.
--I still EXERCISE most days of the week.
Lastly, I will leave you with this thought:

My Sweetie and I got busy making and decorating Ninja-Bread cookies. They're bad-ass.

Loved this post and the last note left. So true. Where did you get those paw print kits? I want one for my cats. Lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the tourist pic! I do miss parts of California since I moved away 7 years ago! Wine Country and the Pacific Ocean. The Gulf of Mexico is just not the same and I've yet to find a winery in these neck of the woods lol! Enjoy!!
