Sort of an Update

I say 'sort-of' because there's no way I can write about everything from the past month in one post. Heck, I can't even remember everything! But I like the idea of this blog, and I know I have a few friends a family who actually check it!

So, I finally changed my goal for Christmas. I have a feeling I may need to change it again, but like I said previously, I don't want to end up with a situation where I've lost over 50 pounds but bc I didn't get to my *new* goal weight there's any feeling of failure.

The real problem with going this long between posts is trying to figure out where to start and what to say.

I was doing really well with the interval walking and working out for a few weeks. And then I had an off week and fell behind. I finally started up yesterday. I walked on my treadmill around noon, and yesterday was the first day that I didn't feel like I needed to take a nap in the afternoon just to keep going. Hopefully I'll remember that the next time I want to skip walking!

Today I need to do some sort of workout. I know at the beginning I said I was going to go through the entire SBD Supercharged workout, but I think I need something different. So I'm going to check out some different options online. I also have a Reebok step that came with a video. Maybe I'll see what it has to offer.

New numbers:
Scale Weight: 198.5
Moving Average: 201.1
New Christmas goal: 190

On a fun note, my family and I went shopping at Target over the weekend. We were walking through the 'normal' section and Damian found a pair of cute purple shorts. I tried them on, and they FIT! I was so excited. At this point I won't even look at clothes that are in the Women's section. And I've been getting rid of all my clothes that are too big. I have pile on my floor right now. I just need to figure out if I'm going to try to sell them on craigslist (they are nice and in good condition) or just donate them. The important thing is to get them out of my house quickly.

I also finally got a new swimsuit. I haven't been able to wear it yet. Saturday we went to Ft. Myers to swim, but by the time we got up there it was raining. We thought about going that night after the Bama game was over, but the kids were tired and we were going to be back up there Sunday. But of course on Sunday Connor wasn't feeling well so we couldn't stick around to swim. Maybe this weekend!

One thing I have to remember is not to keep looking for more clothes in the size I'm at now. That would be a size 16 mostly, although I did buy a dress from Beall's that was a 14 (the 16 was too big in the chest). This is not my target size/weight. It's just so much fun to shop in the normal people section of stores. Not to mention the fact that I got interrupted by my kids and don't remember how I was going to end this sentence.

I've also decided that I'm not posting any new pictures of myself until after Christmas. Mainly because I want my sisters to see the new me in person first. I really wish I had gotten a good before picture taken. Oh well. There are a few pictures of me, but I've spent the past 8 years avoiding the camera as much as possible.

I think that's all I have for now.
