203.6!!!!!!
I know!!!! I couldn't believe it either! That's a number I haven't seen since maybe six years ago! I think that I MAY have weighed this when I moved to Boise in 2006. I'm so elated! So, full of fresh motivation I got Luke up, made him breakfast, did my light crossfit and ate my own healthy breakfast. Then I got the best present ever. I opened up BabyCenter to find that I had this wonderful message waiting for me:
"Just wanted to let you know I've really enjoyed your presence on the board lately. You've got a lot of dedication to accomplishing your goals and that rubs off!"I LOVE my weightloss board!! What an amazing group of ladies who are a shining example of lifting each other up and helping to better each other as daughters of our Heavenly Father. I honestly started blushing when I read that and it gave me such a giddy feeling! To think that I was helping to motivate and inspire other people half a world away! The miracle of technology... So, just want to give a big shout out to all my girls on BBC, couldn't do it without you! :-D
Today's battle included trying to only eat ONE Nutella cupcake...(Also named "poop"cakes)
It was an epic fail. I had THREE and not only that but a (tiny) slice of home made apple pie, lots of veggies with a bit of dip and and two little sandwhiches with cream cheese made from the Hawaiian sweet rolls (yum!). I felt really bad about it... But then I got home and added up all of my calories and added in what I was going to have for dinner and believe it or not I was actually under my goal for the day! I couldn't believe it! I woke up this morning so determined to be good and I felt like such a failure until I saw it in numbers. It really wasn't that bad and all the exercise I got in today really did me some good. Now for tomorrow, whatever the world wants to throw at me, I'm ready for it!
congrats on the weight! that is an amazing accomplishment! keep up the great work & i will also ditto that lovely message you got~you ARE inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I just want to say something I'm working on is NOT feeling bad if I eat 3 cupcakes (or worse!). It's most definitely not the end of the world. Just put it behind you and remember how good they tasted...yum. Hey, do you really do a plank for 1 minute? If you do, you rock. I do planks everyday and make Gracie count to 10 twice each time. She is the SLOWEST counter. She's like the worst personal trainer ever! ha.
ReplyDeleteYou rock Lyn!!!
ReplyDeleteLol thanks girls.
ReplyDeleteRandi I think that's what the numbers help me with... They help me realize that my mental calories are a lot higher than the actual ones and that its okay to enjoy food, as with everything, in moderation. To answer your question, no, I can't do a plank for a whole minute. Right now I do fifteen seconds at a time with about five seconds in between for a quick rest. lol If she's counting longer than I'd say she sounds like a great trainer :-P
That's excellent!! Congratulations on being back to a weight you haven't seen in awhile!!
ReplyDeletePS Those cupcakes look amazing!!
Way to go! I've been trying hard not to feel like I ruined everything if I eat crappy. And usually it turns out not as bad as I think. My thing is the past few nights I've eaten at like 11:00 or 11:30 pm and I need to quit doing that even if I do stay under my calories. Lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you're doing awesome!
