I finally pushed past that mini-wall of 171. Today I weighed myself, half expecting the scale to say something outrageous, like I had gone back up to 173 or something, but instead it delivered some excellent news!!!
I'm 170.2!!! Only .2 pounds to go until I am officially half way to my goal! 25 pounds gone, 25 more to go!
Saqra's showcase went really well last Saturday. The night before, I had to reinforce my leopard skirt with elastic because it was way too big! (The last time I wore it, nearly two years ago, I was seven months pregnant!)
Also, my copper bra and belt needed their clasps adjusted because they were also too loose. I took in a half inch around the ribs, and over an inch in the hips!
And I looked awesome in my pictures! After looking at my Rakkasah pictures, I was feeling pretty unhappy - my muffin top was so noticeable. But in the pictures from showcase, I barely have any extra spillage! This may have something to do with the fact that it was a different costume, but I think it has much more to do with the nearly 9 pounds I lost between then and now.
I don't know how I pulled a one pound loss over the weekend... I barely ate anything on Saturday, nearly overdid it Sunday and yesterday... I didn't do as much exercise as I should have this past week, and I can tell my period is going to come sometime in the next 7 days... the odds are against me here. I'm hoping upping my calorie count is what did it. I also cut out a lot of extraneous beverages and I try to drink more water throughout the day.
My biggest problem is my lack of motivation to get some exercise done. I've been procrastinating on my running big time. I haven't done Zumba in weeks, I haven't checked Exercise TV for anything interesting, and P90X is intimidating as hell.
Goal for this week: exercise four times.
