The Biggest Loser is officially over. I got fourth place out of seventy-some people. I think that was pretty good and throughout the competition I lost 13.7 percent of my body weight. That was even after being on Medifast for a month previously. Fourth place is a hard pill to swallow. It’s one place short of winning a money prize! The top loser lost 21.7 percent. That is amazing and bravo to her for making such a big change in her life.
Currently I am only 3.4 pounds away from my goal weight. These past two weeks have brought another 6.5 pound loss. For some reason, now is when everyone is finally noticing. A lot of comments on how thin my face is looking, it makes me feel so great because I think I am finally losing some poundage from somewhere other than my chest and butt! (The two places a girl wouldn’t mind keeping it on. lol) Not to “count my chickens” but after I reach my 175 pound goal weight, I plan on making a new goal for 155. I think that would be the perfect size for me. I have a feeling these last 23 pounds are going to be quite the task to lose. My body is defiantly going to make me work for it.
These past two weeks back on Medifast went great. I have found that taking that little break has made me a little more lax about things. Not eating things that are off the plan, but just less anal about every little thing. I still weigh my meat and would really like to get to the point where I can eyeball it and know that is around the right serving size. These last few weeks or months (however long it takes) I am going to use to help myself to transition off. Not the official transition. Just being able to eyeball my proportions better and knowing when I do eat something that is not completely healthy for me to do it in small doses. Everything in your life should be done in moderation. That can be difficult for someone who is sometimes a tad compulsive at times. “Hey, don’t point your finger at me! “J
I have settled in a few not so great ways. Since being back I started to get the “I’m not eating bad food for me, so what’s it going to hurt to….” Fill in the blank. Before when I was in my stricter version of this diet, I only allowed myself to have one or two diet cokes a week. Also some popcorn with Smart Balance butter on the weekends as an extra snack. I recognized myself getting back into old habits of just feeling like I want to eat, even if I wasn’t really hungry. Chase away the boredom. I started having a Diet Coke every night and also started eating the popcorn every night. Most nights I would end up feeling bloated and regret having the extras by bedtime. These technically aren’t things to break the bank. They don’t even fall off the diet. They simply aren’t necessary for me and I indulge anyways. I recognized this on Monday night and have resorted back to being a little more, strict. It will help me in the long run to break bad habits now. I counted is as a transition back from having some guilty pleasures on my trip. That damn popcorn is just so good!
I just placed my next Medifast order and decided to try a couple new things. Get out of the usual routine I have put myself in. I will let you know how that goes in my upcoming blogs. I am going to try and still have an update every Monday. I know I haven’t been keeping up quite as well as I should be.
I don’t currently have any “before pictures” but I am going to try and post a current one of me 41 pounds lighter. If I can figure out how to do it!
