Week 12: day 78
start date: August 10, 2008
end date: November 10, 2008
3 month goal: lose 15lbs
start weight: 173lbs
current weight: 166lbs
target weight: 158lbs
last year's fittest-ever weight: 145 lbs!
ultimate wishful weight: 135 lbs
Well technically I have 12 days left on my 90-day challenge to lose another 8lbs. I don't think it's going to happen even though I've finally started to see some results from signing up for the food delivery service. This diet has me on 1200-1400 calories a day! I did not think I would survive on that small amount of food..In fact I did add the occasional 35cal yogurt or the handful of almonds whenever I felt a hunger pang coming on. I also cheated on the weekend and gave my meal to the bf a couple of times so I could splurge on some home-cooking! Also had a few alcoholic beverages every now and again.
I am happy though to see that this change in diet is having an effect. All those days training at the gym just were not enough if I turned around and overate to the tune of 2000+ calories. I'm sure some days I was over the 3000 mark with the cakes, chips, and chocolate fiestas I threw for myself.
My food delivery ends on Saturday so I will prepare my own menu for the week after according to a 1200-1400 calorie range. I'm so proud of me. Today I even recognized an emotional eating urge coming on and was able to talk myself out of it. I reasoned that I had a meal waiting for me at home, so there was no need to buy those Lays Potato Chips and polish them off before I even made it back home. If I can keep up these strategies, maybe I'll get to my target weight before the end of the year. In 8 weeks, can I lose 8lbs? Hell ya!!!!
