Weight Loss Challenge

Weight Loss Challenge

How has the 15 pound Christmas Challenge gone? Not so great with me. I seem to be up and down with a few pounds. I just can’t seem to get pass a certain weight. It is really irritating, and I know I am doing something wrong.

I have been very good about drinking my water daily. Really, that is all I drink around our house. I rarely make tea or Kool-Aid for the kids. Our choices are slim with just milk or water. On occasion, since it is cooler weather, we will have hot chocolate.

I have also been doing okay watching my portion control. Making sure that I get smaller amounts of the carbohydrates or fatty foods. I try to make sure that I eat plenty of my veggies and fruits.

The area I am lacking in is the exercising section. I have good intentions of getting in a walk and something will come up. No matter the time or day. I am going to do my best to make it a priority to get that walking in. I also need to add some toning in there as well.

It is going to be a challenge since Thanksgiving is a week and a half away. Then we will only be a month away from Christmas. Time is quickly moving, so I need to get moving as well.

So I am back to 220. I would really love to lose that 15 lbs by Christmas with my friends. Back to counting calories, drinking my water and yes, I am going to get in my walks. Next week, there will be a loss of weight on my part. I know I can do this.
