Fall begins with a few goals in plain site… September 29, 2009

I’m looking forward to the next few months. I know that the Holidays are approaching. But for the first time in a long time I’m looking forward to them. I’m not worried about gaining weight. I’m not going to deprive myself of enjoying the Holiday festivities. However, I will eat in moderation. Applying everything I’ve learned about nutrition over the last 7 months along with staying active. I’m going to look at the Holiday season as a challenge for myself. As long as I continue to be mindful of what I eat & keeping a journal, I’m confident that I will do fine. As for now I’m continuing with my eating routine & exercise. I feel like I’m doing ok. But to hear people comment on my weight loss is confirmation that I’m heading in the right direction. I look in the mirror & say why isn’t the weight coming off. I know that it is but not fast like I want it to. After seeing my sister this weekend who confirmed to me that I’m getting smaller made me realize that I didn’t put this weight on over night. So I can’t expect to lose it over night. I’m happy with my results & will continue to reach for my short term goals. Nowing that my long term goals aren’t far behind. I look forward to seeing you guys soon. Melissa
