Maintenance and Wed. Weigh-in

i will start by saying that i used to be SO happy with my weigh-in this morning!

At 137, i'm officially back in my weight maintenance variety. this does not imply that i am going to try and hold this weight, but. I want a bit cushion ;)  i'm going to do my excellent to get lower back to 133, that is my intention weight.

This is from the Weight Watchers app

The funny thing is, i have in no way absolutely reached my goal weight... in my lifestyles. when I first started out dropping weight, my "happy weight" purpose became 185. well, that got here and went, so then I selected 153 (a hundred lbs misplaced). Then I stored losing, and determined on 126--half of of my starting weight. I in the end reached my lowest weight (December 2010, after my jaw surgery), which become 127.5. once my jaw healed, I went up to 137 ish and stayed there for a while. My weight has been going up and down among a hundred thirty five and 155 for multiple years now.

a while ago, I changed my "professional" goal weight to 133 (I felt without a doubt true there, and all my garments fit properly). approximately a yr in the past, after my skin removal surgical operation, I got as low as 134--just a pound from attaining intention!--and then the warfare continued. I reached a very scary high weight a couple of months ago, at which point I started out Weight Watchers (out of desperation to get lower back to goal).

And as of today, i have gotten again to my "glad range", but I nonetheless need to recognize how it feels to reach my goal weight! I realize it's stupid to get hung up with numbers, however i've struggled with my weight my entire existence, and i continually dreamed of the day i might attain my purpose weight. Then i'd experience like i used to be formally in preservation mode, and not looking to lose.

I would like to get all the way down to 133, simply to have that feeling of achieving intention. And this time, i'm going to have a renovation plan. on the grounds that I never absolutely reached goal, I never had a renovation plan. I expect my weight to vary, but the purpose is to range among 133 and 137 instead of a hundred thirty five and one hundred fifty five. i have determined that it's the remaining 5 pounds that honestly make the biggest difference in how I sense and how I appearance. i was going via snap shots today from just a couple of months in the past, and i'm able to see a huge difference from the beginning of September to now. i'll attempt to get an awesome assessment image day after today.

So anyway, nowadays was very exciting to truly get lower back in my renovation range, and still sense strong going into the ultimate four kilos.

This afternoon, I labored on making a sparkle skirt. I took a ton of pix, so i can flip it into a tutorial in case anyone else desires to make one. they're clean to make, and really fun to put on in a race. at the marathon, I were given numerous compliments on it at the same time as i was walking. besides, I made this for a person else, but I liked the shade a lot that I needed to make one for myself as properly:

Now I feel like I've got to find a Christmas-y race so I can wear it :)
