72 days to go - I have to stay the course!!!
OK everyone I need some encouragement! The wedding date is no longer faintly in the distance, friendly and welcoming with plenty of weight loss time in between. The wedding date is now LOOMING just over the horizon. I don’t have time for cheat weekends anymore!! Here’s what happened to me: I had my usual cheat day after my LOWEST EVER weigh in (142!!!!! WOO HOO) and the problem is, the cheat day extended into Sunday, then Monday, and then Tuesday. Of course, Monday and Tuesday was reduced fat wheat thins and lite cool whip all day, so I don’t know how bad that is. On South Beach, it’s really bad b/c now I feel as if I’ve gained 5 pounds of water weight overnight - so discouraging!
So, I managed to turn a triumphant moment into a guilt-ridden consequence. Today, I’m on the straight and narrow. Boot camp South Beach ever since I opened my eyes this morning. I’m so close to my mini goal of 140 I can smell it so why am I losing it now???
Also I had a mini-meltdown Monday night because working 2 jobs and planning a wedding and trying to maintain a relationship with completely opposite hours is next to impossible. I’ve skipped a few workouts too… that will change tomorrow morning. On the upside, I spent 5 hours cleaning my house vigorously last night (yes, it was that messy!) and my whole body is sore, so I’m sure that counts for exercise!
SO…. whine whine whine. I’m pulling myself together, I’m back on track, I’m focused, I’m energetic, and I can do anything for 2 months…… right???????
Back on track and focused is great! It is so easy to lose focus I think. Cut out the cheat day for a few weeks and you’ll regain momentum and hit thatmini goal QUICKLY! Congrats on the wedding date!!!!
Yes, you can do anything in 2 months…My birthday is coming up so, I’m trying to stay the course for 75 days…We can do it as long as we’re consistant!:)

Right!!! You can do it! Just think- a pound or a pound and a half a week! Rock on your south beach, excercise, and the world is yours for the taking! Good luck on the wedding! Let us know!
