Day 29 (The 60-Day Challenge)

So, back to the old grindstone after a blissful weekend off. I weighed myself at the gym and I lost about a pound over Thanksgiving week. I call that a small miracle and I definitely don't feel guilty about what I ate. But, now I think it's time to kick it into high gear. When I was training today, he asked how close I was to my "goal" weight. But I actually have 2 different numbers I'm shooting for. So I had to explain the difference between my goal weight and my "milestone" weight. My milestone weight is pretty close; probably only about 10 pounds away. The milestone weight is where I will have hit the 100 pounds lost mark. My goal weight would probably be about 15 pounds past that. He's determined to get me to my milestone weight by the end of this contest. If I could just make better choices during the weekends, I think I could make it happen. I've been trying to think about ways to help me avoid eating the "bad" foods until January 5th. I love listening to music and it seems to really motivate me so I'm hoping that plugging into my iPod when I feel like eating something I shouldn't will help. I've also put the flyer about the contest on my fridge, which seems to be working a bit too. At this point I'll beg, borrow, and steal anything that will help me with willpower.
