3fatchicks.com is a forum and article website I joined earlier this week. It's filled with women who are all in the same weight-loss boat. Everyone started at different points, is at different places in their journey, and all have different goals. But everyone is so supportive, and willing to offer advice or encouragement when needed. I have since posted a couple times, and even went so far as to join a challenge group called "Cinco de Mayo Caliente 10-Pound Challenge". There are over ten ladies who've joined the group so far, and we have all pledged to lose ten pounds by the fifth of May this year. Five weeks, approximately, and, though my original goal of being 165 by the end of April is a little steeper than that, there is no law that states I can't lose MORE than the pledged ten pounds.
I've been stuck at a mini-wall with this 178. Yesterday was my mother-in-law's birthday and I ended up going about 400 calories over my budget. I wouldn't have gone over if I had done my Zumba workout for the day, but I skipped it because I was too busy with the party.
I feel pretty gross today, but got right back on track with the diet (except for the cup of chocolate pudding I ate with breakfast today but it wasn't so high in calories! I plan to dance off everything just as soon as my son naps, or even before then.
Tonight we are going out to the restaurant for our weekly double-date, and I will have to see where my calorie count stands before I say whether or not I'll be eating anything there.
Anyway, I just wanted to post about the new site I found. I'm really excited to lose ten more pounds and be part of a group doing the same thing. Accountability! It's a beautiful thing!
I'll post more after my workout.
