I did end up going outside for a 30 minute walk as I said I was going to the other day, on Oct 11th, when I last posted. It was a nice day and I thought I should take advantage of that, with winter approaching. It was lovely, I enjoyed the sunshine, and the movement. It sort of made me feel like my old self.
I have done 20 minutes of Pilates every morning since then, including this morning, but I haven't gotten in the cardio like I had hoped. Today is a day off work, so I plan on doing that at some point today.
I so don't want another goal date to come around, (Nov 20, meeting friends out of town,) and miss my goal. Because of this I need to work hard, but just as importantly I need to set a realistic goal. My weight is the same as it was a few days ago, 194, that's ok, I have had a few days of less than perfect eating, but life happens. Counting today I have 37 days until Nov 20. Just over 5 weeks. If I keep up the weight loss of approx 2.5 lbs per week that has me at about 182. That would be nice, (honestly less would be better, getting into the 170's sounds nice, 179.9?) but maybe I should set my goal at 1.5 lbs per week to keep it real, and prevent disappointment. 186 doesn't sound nearly as good though does it?
Oh well, who knows what my body will decide to do. I will do my best. I will continue to do the Pilates every morning, I will try my best to do some cardio everyday, even 20 minutes is good, I will continue to work as hard and as fast as I can at work, and most importantly, I will continue to be reasonable with what I am eating.
These are the things I need and want to do for the rest of my life, here I go...
