Today marks Day 1 of the next phase of my weight reduction plan. This diet will last for a set period of time, after which I plan to be at my goal weight. Watch the ticker above for updates as my weight falls.
I'm excited about this part because, from past experience I know a few things:
1. I know HOW to do it. Food lists, timing, cravings, etc. I know what to expect and can be adequately prepared for whatever comes up.
2. I know it WORKS! My last round saw a loss of almost 25 lbs. and because I know what I'm doing this time, I expect the same or better.
3. My family does just fine. From making two different dinners to eating out to family events. I have an extremely supportive husband and children. During the last round my youngest was concerned that I was sad during my diet, but I explained that it was for a set amount of time and after it was over, I'd be healthier. That made her happy and I hope taught that the lesson of "short term sacrifice, long term gain (so to speak).
I've added a new feature to my blog: Followers. If you'd like to be notified automatically when I post, just use the link to the right. To be honest I'm not positive about how it works, but try it and let me know what happens!
I begin this new challenge at only 1.7 lbs over where I finished at the end of the last round. And that was 8 weeks ago! Needless to say, I'm eager to get this show on the road.
Good luck! I've got to get my ducks in a row. Not doing well lately. It sounds like you have a plan and know what to expect. Thanks for sharing!
