Month Four Sabotage

After being inactive in the exercise department for several weeks (other than a few snowshoeing adventures) and eating consistently over my calories, it dawned on me that I tend to sabotage my weight loss at month four.
 Last year when I starting working out and eating better for my New Year's resolution, I lost 20 lbs. and was able to run three miles. Then, at month four (April), I slacked off and gained everything back.

This time around, I re-started my weight loss journey in November and am starting to see symptoms of sabotage. I've been eating nonstop, not exercisig and not drinking my water. I have gained two pounds in the past week and need to put a stop to my behavior right now!

If admitting that you have a problem is the first step, then I'm considering this as my first step to fixing the problem.

A New Size Already?

Since November, I have been on a renewed mission to lose weight, eat better and get healthier. I've lost 27 lbs. so far and dropped from a size 14 jean to a size 12 jean.

Last night, as I was getting ready for bed, I was able to pull my size 12 jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. This means...drum roll, please...that I might be ready to move into a size 10!

It has officially been ten years since I've been able to fit into a size 10, which is when I graduated from high school. At that time, I weighed about 150 lbs. Now, I'm trying to figure out how my body shape has changed so much that I can fit into a size 10 at 192 lbs. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm happy to be down another size.

Now, I'm wondering just how long it will be before I can fit into a size 8. I can't remember the last time I could fit into a single digit size. The even crazier thought is that with approximately 40 more pounds to lose, is it possible that I could end up in a size 6? I don't want to jump ahead of myself with these thoughts, but it's motivational to think that it COULD actually happen!
