Lose 21lbs by December 31st

to my scale, I lost a whole stone overnight. Now unless I painlessly gave birth to a silent and hugely weighty baby in my sleep, I think they might be faulty, right?!

This one has somewhat gone out of the window this week. Like I’ve mentioned before I was doing so well and felt really pleased with my efforts, but the past couple of days I’ve been rubbish!
I know it’s hormonal and stress related but I need to try and regain control. I’ve pretty much felt shit all day after the pizza last night and in some ways I consider this to be a victory as it means my body is finally used to a shit diet not being the norm.
ANYWAY, a mini goal within this mini-goal is to get my diet (by which I mean the food I eat, not my diet) back on track. Turn over a new leaf in the new house and plan and get back on track and start to feel healthy and fresh again :)

I recorded my weight this week as 8lbs gone. It was a slight cheat as I wasn’t 8lbs down this morning (my new weigh day, moved from Mondays, means I can relax a little at the weekends with less of an impact on the next week’s weigh in), however I have been for most of the week and I know the exact reason for the discrepancy and how to sort it, so I feel justified ‘cheating’.
With my current rate of loss I could properly achieve this goal (which has always been a tall order), however with Christmas and the unpredictability of weight loss I’m not confident. What I would really really like is to get to 14lbs down, anything more would be a wonderful bonus.

I’ve lost 6lbs now, I’m doubtful I’ll get to 21 by the end of the year but that was always going to be an ambitious goal. The most important thing is that I’m continually losing and keeping it off, rather than yo-yoing around up and down. I’m pleased with my progress, well done me :D
