Day 90

WaHoo!!!!!

Final below the 220 mark! Another loss, -1.2 lbs. this week - and I'm retaining water (gals you know what that means!) So hopefully next week will be different. I'll be on vacation then, so I'll have to bring the scale with me. That was what I knew that you didn't : )  I knew I had gotten below 220. This is a big deal for me. I haven't been in the 2-teens since just after my second son was born. I'm very proud of this milestone.

Here are a few stats since the beginning:

• Arms  -3.3 inches
• Bust   -2 inches
• Waist -2.5 inches
• Hips   -5 inches!!! Wow!
• Thighs -5.5 inches
• Starting dress size: 22 / Current dress size: 18
• Total weight loss: 30.8 lbs.!

So I have a plan for this week and next. Next week is vacation and I'm going to plan my meals and swim laps daily to keep my points in check. I don't know what to expect as far as weight, but I'm going to do my best- I haven't worked this hard to let vacation set me back. As for this week, I have plans to meet a couple of friends in New York City (I live just north) and go on a Macaron tour (self guided)! I'm saving my weekly points for that trip so we can sample the best of the city and stop at Bouchon for lunch. It'll will be fun and delish!

Day 83

-2.8 lbs.!!!!!!

This brings my total weight loss to 29.6 lbs : ) Only another .6 lbs. and I'll have seen the end of the 220's. Back to the teens. The last time I was in the teens was just after my second son was born almost 4 years ago to the day. Wow!

I discovered this week that when I use more of my weekly points (Weight Watchers) I lose at a better rate. I think I make better choices all day long not feeling restricted to the 35 points I'm currently at and because of that I burn all the fuel I put into my body at a much faster rate. This week, we'll focus on that and on being in the pool doing laps at least 4 days--starting today. And this will help with my golden tan : )

Days 71 & 72

Have I mentioned that I don't get so winded going up four flights of stairs anymore?

Or that my knees don't bother me so much?

Or that I just might make it below 220 before my summer vacation in Virginia Beach?

Yup. It's getting good now!  : )
