OH Weight loss tickers

I MADE IT...

...  Relatively unscathed...  I must say about 90% of my choices were right on track.  The other 10%...  not so much.  But I tried to plan for them and move this body more to accommodate for extra calories or carbs.  Must have done something right since I'm down to 270.  83 lbs lost and today I officially make 6 months out! 

I definitely recognize the importance of preparation now.  We ate out entirely too much.  At least once a day.  But that's ok...  This week, I've purged the house of anything that was left over and did my protein re-stock grocery run.  One thing I've learned is that forcing more gluten filled foods does not make me less intolerant.  *insert stupid slap here*

Here it is almost the middle of April and swimsuit season is upon us.  I feel fairly certain that I will again be sitting this one out.  All this extra skin definitely causes issues that I really don't want people to see.  I keep wishing for some weird solution like that Simpson's episode when Homer loses all his weight.  LOL!

But alas...  in the meantime, I'm stuck with rolls and folds of skin.  I dream of the day when I'm thin enough to have it all lopped off, tucked, and tightened so I can see the svelte body that is hiding underneath. 

I must admit after the making a few bad choices over the last 2 weeks, I have a greater appreciation for the DS.  Normally any small amount of wiggle room in my diet would throw me off the wagon so badly, I'd struggle to climb back on.  But not this time.  For the first time ever...  I actually looked forward to getting back to "MY" normal and sticking with protein, veggies, water, and vitamins.  The dieting hiatus made me aware of what those bad foods can do to my body and I certainly didn't like feeling the remnants it all of in my joints.  Ouch...

But back on track since Sunday has resulted in a 4 lb loss in 4 days.  Guess I can't argue with results.

Gonna keep on going and see where this road takes me next!!!
