My dogs have been a huge help for me. I play with them, walk them, and they reduce my stress. I honestly think they are the reason I don't weigh 250 now. In fact, I'm down to 215 depending on the day. The thing is, I have plateaued as I am not currently doing anything remotely consciously. I have done plenty of research and my best feelings lean toward just going back to real food. I did it once before and it worked. I will not be going to extremes and I will track my progress on here. I am a part of Weight Watchers, but will not be using them other than to track what I'm eating.
So.....MY REWARD.....
Obviously losing 40 pounds in the last year or so is a big deal. Keeping it off is even better. But I'm not yet healthy. According to the charts I should be 155 lbs. Carlos and I agreed that if I could get to 160 lbs (only 5 lbs short of my goal weight), we would reward me. This means I need to lose 55 lbs to receive my reward. So what could be so rewarding? Food? Clothes? Nope. Those things are inevitable. My reward will be that he and I will go to Las Vegas and go Sky Diving! Why Vegas? Well, because I've been playing a game on Facebook for the last few years and have over 400,000 loyalty points earned. Those will pay for multiple nights in hotels, food, shows, etc. Sky diving is something I have wanted to do for several years but never felt skinny enough to go. I'm not going to starve myself, I'm just going to do the little things every day. This blog probably won't be an every day thing. I've already proved I'm not great at updating. But I will provide recipes, pictures, and experiences at least twice a month! Please help support me by reading my posts and sharing your own thoughts or successes!
