Excited and Terrified

Posted on August 1, 2014

Today I got on the scales and was down over a pound! 4 more pounds to go! I can do it!

I have today, then my birthday weekend, then a few days of camping. I am going to stress up until I leave at 4 am on Monday. Then I am going to allow the stress to vanish. I am going to have everything pre packed, prepared, positively good to go! I am going to enjoy this time with my munchkin!

I am getting everything ready, pre packing, fixing prepared foods to take. Nervously checking packing lists...

I don't know how this weekend is going to go. My family wants to make a big deal of my birthday. Dinner, cake, doing something. I really want a low key, not revolving around food type of weekend. I sure hope that I don't blow it!

:) All in all I am excited with an underlying terror of messing this up! :)

You can do, I have a vacation planned but luckily it starts two days before this challenge is over. But I still plan on trying to balance my vacation week out. By trying to maintain my weight loss. Vacation is a time for relaxing and spoiling yourself a little. But it doesn't have to be over the top. Adding in exercise can be easy to counter balance a heavy meal. Look for the opportunities.

My husband has been living with my obsession of bettering our diets. I am a professionally trained baker, so it's hard on me. He isn't one to care too much. He is at his ideal weight and all he sees is expense.. On a good note it typically means I can make all kinds of junky cake, pies, chocolate and he will devour it for me.. sad, that he isn't on the same train I am.. :) However, he is taking notice at my weight loss. :) It's changing my mood and my happiness and energy level.

I completely understand. It was my bday two weeks ago and I struggled. Why does everything have to center around food?! Can you explain to your family how important it is for your not to have trigger foods around you? Try your best! You've got this :D
