Hello,Dearies!
Long time, no post!
I’m in for this month, but probably won’t be around much for the first half. Next week is finals for my classes, so I have a TON of studying to do, followed by Mother’s Day weekend. My goal is to be *OVERWEIGHT*!!! by the end of May. That’s around a 6-8lb loss, and I’m crazy excited about it, because when I started back in January, that was my “I wish, but no way can it happen before we leave on vacation at the end of June” goal… and here I am, sooo close to hitting it EARLY!!! Let’s go ahead and count that for my Wednesday Woo-Hoo, while we’re at it.
So- Obstacles are:
1: I’ve been at this hard for months, so there’s always the possibility of a(nother) plateau.
2: My birthday is on Mother’s Day, so I’ve decided to just let it all go that day… my 9 year old wants to cook for me, so I’ll eat whatever she makes and not worry about it for that one day. And I’m having cake, dammit. I’m planning to “be bad” that day (Alllll day!) on purpose to see how it feels afterwards in preparation for our upcoming trip. I have been doing just a basic reduced-calorie diet all year, not anything wild with avoiding any food groups or anything- but I want to see what a day of “much sugar” does to me physically after months of minimal sugar- because I plan on being WICKED for the two weeks we’re in Florida! ;D
3: Being in school these past few months has been a big help, I think, and that will be over for a while, so I’ll have to watch myself not to slip back into old habits.
4: With being so crazy-busy lately, I haven’t been getting exercise in as much as before, especially since I had to drop my dance class (kiddo’s been in and out of the hospital all semester, and that is a class that you can fail just by missing too often.) So while getting back to walking will help overall, especially with being able to physically survive the parks in June, there is the possibility that I’ll have a muscle gain that might slow the scale decline… we’ll see.
5: It’s gardening season—so same concern as above that I’m a lot more active this time of year, which can translate to the “good” kind of gain… but will frustrate my numbers.
Oh, and a bonus Woo-hoo, I got my Pandora fastpasses today!!! We have an onsite reservation, but when I looked at my 60-days-out-from-arrival last week, I could book AK fastpasses, but not Pandora for whatever reason. But they have unlocked now, and we have an evening fastpass for the River Journey that backs up to our Rivers of Light fastpass. Of course we’ll have to brave the lines for the other one, but that’s just how it is. I’m happy to have the one, and around the time we wanted.
We leave in 51 days, so fair warning, I’m going to be babbling about our plans *A LOT* once I have time!!! ;P
