This is going to be a short post, as I am about to get ready to go to work, but I really wanted to check in because I haven't for a few days, as I am really running out of things to blog about pertaining to weight loss. So I think after I get back from Hawaii and blog about those, then I will more than likely start blogging about various other things, so if you are reading this strictly to learn about my weight loss strategies, than you may be disappointed.
I chose the title for this blog, because weight loss really is just that - an oath. I have had countless moments where I have really wanted to lose weight, and ever time I put on my pants that were always too tight, I would hate myself a little more and think "man, I really have to lose weight" but never has it actually motivated me to do anything about it. I don't get motivated enough until i tell myself, okay, I need to be healthier and I vow to myself that I am going to do it. Once I have my mind set like this, nothing can stop me and nothing can deter me from my goal. Yes I am going to Hawaii, and I am going to eat out probably at least once a day... but I recognize this and I will without a doubt start right back on healthy eats when I get back. I have made an oath to myself that this time next year I will be at my goal weight, and then I will still be blogging, talking about the struggles of maintaining. Because getting to my goal weight isn't the end of the battle. Being someone who struggles with being overweight, has to recognize that this is going to be lifelong! As tiring as that sounds... it's reality. Anyway, just thought I would share what keeps me going. I respect myself too much to be stuck in this overweight body for much longer. I respect myself too much to break this oath that I have made to myself, and I respect myself too much to put my body through all of the complications of being overweight. That went on to be a little more preachy, and a little more serious than I would normally write, but it is something I feel pretty passionate about!
With that being said - I have a great weigh in to share with you all! My last weigh in had me at 159.7 and last week during TTOM, I was fluctuating between 158.9 and 158.5 but here are my stats right now...
SW: 182
LWW: 158.5 (.9)
CW: 156.4
GW: 100-110
Yay for hitting the 25lb milestone, and whoot for only 1.4 lbs until I reach my Hawaii goal, and I have a week to do it. I am bound and determined to make this happen!
Here is to hoping everyone has a great week of eating well and working out (something that I haven't been doing at all... but still losing weight because I have been eating so well! (besides pizza and chips at my nephews birthday party, but that is besides the point... btw after eating well for so long - pizza and grease gives me major freaking heartburn, it was not fun!)
I am going to leave you with a picture of the delicious salad that I had for dinner last night, and will be having again tonight. It had the following ingredients• baby spinach as the base (4oz.)
• skinless boneless chicken breast, stripped (between 3-4oz.)
• marble cheese (about 20 g)
• garlic (.3oz.)
• cucumber (4oz.)
• mushroom (3oz.)
• broccoli (2oz.)
• tomato (4oz.)
• Kraft Catalina Calorie Wise dressing (about 2tbsp) (not shown in picture)
It was totally filling and absolutely satisfying (with only 302 calories!). It is perfect to bring to work with me so that is what I am going to do. Yes I even ate it out of this large stainless steel mixing bowl, ahaha!
Have a great day everyone!
