Oh, Happy Day!
After 20 weeks on the Sexy Forever plan, I'm beside myself with excitement. While I only lost one pound this week, I'm thrilled to report that my total weight loss is 20 pounds! And that's significant because it means I'm two-thirds of the way to my goal of losing 30 pounds. With only 10 pounds to go . . . boy does that sound good . . . I know I'm going to have to dig deep to stay the course.
I think those last 10 pounds can be extremely hard, yet dangerous at the same time. It's that tricky time when your mind plays games with you. The little voice in your head starts negotiating with you to cheat a little ... saying things like, "go ahead and eat that piece of cake because you deserve it for your hard work". You all know what I'm talking about.
Then, on the flip side, I think that weight loss slows down when you get close to your goal. It's only natural. Plus, there's always the chance that you may reach a plateau, which is not only frustrating . . . but dangerous, too.
I've been this close before, and I'm sure you have been too. So, I'm going to dig deep and see if I can knock these 10 pounds out before they knock me out.
Oh, and by the way, my hubby didn't lose any weight this week, but he's been in that danger zone for many weeks now. With only 8 pounds to go he has fallen for the voices in his head many times and cheats quite regularly. Nothing really bad, but it adds up by the end of the week.
Today is also a wonderful day because it's all about leftovers today. I love days like that because it means no kitchen work.
Breakfast - cereal
AM Snack - Hot Apple With Cinnamon (SS web site). Basically, you sprinkle some cinnamon and SomerSweet on a sliced apple and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. It's really a yummy treat.
Lunch - Leftover Jalapeno Chili from Day 113. This recipe indicates that it will make 10 servings. But, in reality it makes 12 servings, so I put the extra two servings in the freezer for a rainy day.
PM Snack - Another Zucchini Muffin from Day 112. I'm going to miss these little morsels of yummy-ness. But, we've got enough left for 2 more days. Yeah!
Dinner - Leftover Pork Ribs from Day 112, plus I had a cucumber left over in the fridge, so I sliced it up.
