Well folks, it's that time! Tomorrow I head to Hawaii for two blissful weeks. These two weeks will NOT include calorie counting, and I will not be weighing myself. So this should be interesting. I am a little nervous that when I get back I will have gained 5-10 pounds and lost the progress that I have made thus far. The biggest fear that I have is that I am going to get back into the pattern of eating unhealthily and not be able to stop myself when I get back from just going ahead and pigging out on some of my various favourite, really bad-for-me foods. I hope that I have the strength to enjoy the vacation and all of it's lovely meals out at restaurants etc. but that I then have the strength to come back and start right back up where I left off, and continue to diet.
I want to be 130 by the start of summer (so by July 1st lets say). That gives me lots of leniency for some failure, and it gives me lots of time to lose the weight... but it will also mean that I am so close to the weight that I was at my wedding. By mid summer then I should be able to fit back into my wedding dress, and hopefully late summer, I can wear it again for a "trash the dress" session. I don't mean actual trash like some brides do, I just have always wanted to do a session say in the water, or in a junkyard, or something! Just get some really cool, unique images of me in my wedding dress. It will also be a celebratory treat, because that means I made it back to that place, a time in my life that I actually felt good about myself again. Then everything after that will just be bonus!
Speaking of getting closer to that weight. I have some great news! I made it to my Hawaii goal! Here is my Monday weigh in:
Start Weight: 182
Last Weight: 156.4
Current Weight: 154.8
Goal Weight: 100-110
Woot for another 1.6 lb loss. I was actually at 154.4 on Friday and Saturday morning, but Saturday evening I indulged a little (okay a lot) and ate a bunch of high calorie snacks (but did have some fruit and veggies too - they have to count for something right?!) haha. Anyway, I am so happy and feel really accomplished making my goal. Now it will be a goal of mine to try my hardest not to get out of control, and maintain my weight. I am hoping with all the exercising we will be doing that it will help in the not gaining department :)
I will certainly be blogging from Hawaii. Maybe once or twice, maybe every other day, we will see how I feel! Until then <3
