As of today, I have managed to lose 54 pounds. 47 on WW and 7 before I started. My journey began with Atkins but after eating more meat than I had in six months in one week, I realized it was not going to work. The thought of chomping down on copious amounts of bacon made me gag.
Alas, being this close to my goal (15 more lbs) has caused a demon to arise. I mean why am I losing all of this weight? What difference is it going to make? What happens when I am at goal and visions of bear claws dance in my head. Along with fish and chips, oh yeah, fish and chips with mushy peas!
The unexpected catalyst for this demon rising was the trying on of my goal size pants. They fit.
Why oh why did they have to fit?
The gym closed the pool the day I tried on my skinny-sized jeans. Sweet torture. The only exercise I have been able to commit to is swimming.
On September 24th, I go on vacation.
I guess I'm blogging about this to help me get there.
Please don't say: But you can have your fish and chips and mushy peas! This isn't a diet; it is a lifestyle. Buzz off.
It is a diet.
It is hard.
It doesn't seem to have an end.
It is a demon dressed in chocolate sauce.
Tomorrow, I start crackdown to vacation.
I will drink as much coffee as it takes to convince me time has not stopped on the corner of cookies and cream.
Special thanks to Quest high-protein bars- chocolate chip cookie dough is insanely good.
Have a wonderful holiday and drive like you want to see tomorrow.
