I apologize for not blogging as much recently. I thought I'd have extra free time in Fort Wayne, but it turns out we have been busy. So I am sorry. On a good note though I have found time to workout nearly everyday, which in my book is a win. And I have finally gotten that pesky half pound off, so I have I'm total lost 60lbs this year! Yay! It feels good to hit my goal. Now I get to start working toward my goal of 20lbs more by the end of the year. It is doable, but will be a challenge at the holiday time. I know I can do it though.
For those who are wondering about my long term goals, after completing my 20lbs more for the year, I want to lose about 50lbs more. This would put my weight loss total at 130lbs. I say that is my goal, but the truth is I just feel like I'm not close enough to even know if that is a good weight for me. That is why I do shorter goals. I have this weight in my head that I'd like to hit, but in all reality if I get to a number higher than that and feel like that is where I am comfortable and healthy then I will adjust. And the same goes if I get to my goal weight and feel like a lower weight would be better. When you have larger amounts of weight to lose I feel like it is hard to nail down a number until you are closer to a realistically healthy weight.
One big goal I have is to be able to walk into any women's clothing store and know that I could buy a pair of their pants and they'd fit. That doesn't mean a size 2, but it means a healthy weight for me. I am getting closer. I recently bought a size smaller in jeans. They may be tight now, but I have confidence soon they will be loose too. For now I have stuck with the same kind of jeans from target, because they are cheap and stretch. Eventually I plan to actually take time and go find better jeans, but when I am down a bit more weight. Maybe that would be a good Christmas gift for me. Time to go out by myself to try on clothes. Hint hint husband ;)
