Honestly, I’d hope to come in here with some amazing number to just blow it out of the water. But, with a couple of vacations, the Fourth of July and YoungMasterV’s birthday parties, and birthday adventure , the diet took a bit of a hit. Still moving forward with OMAD/Keto. The hope had been to drop at least 20 pounds last month, but… you know… life.
We are less than a month away from our vacation. EEK!! I’ve gotten strict with everything and things are starting to move like I’d like. Next week’s numbers should be more dramatic. Clothing-wise things that I tried on last month are starting to fit and the green shirt I wore to Aruba three years ago (was it really that long ago?) can be buttoned but not really worn.
It’s surprising to me how much ‘stuff’ I hold onto in my closet. There are so many things that I feel I need to hold onto, but things I never wear or truly even contemplate wearing. I don’t know if there was something in me that felt I didn’t deserve better, or maybe it was the almighty someday I can wear it, or fit into it. But I’ve decided to let all those clothes go.
There’s been a lot of those little nugget revelations lately, but I just don’t really want to spend the brainpower today to work through it, so I’ll end this here. 🙂

Quick Thoughts:
7/23: I’ve been thinking about this a lot since I posted yesterday. It’s been 16.5 pounds since 6/7, but it’s been 32 pounds since 1/1. So, I have 68 pounds left to drop to make my 100 pound goal by the end of the year. I can do this. I can. *IF* I can manage to drop 20 more pounds before our vacation and let’s say 20 more pounds after that… I could get within spitting distance by the end of September. It‘s kind of funny. When I get ‘in the zone’ weight comes off quickly. My problem is staying in the zone until I finish. But this time I am determined. Why not strive for greatness. Why not push myself hard and see what I can do. Yeah. I’m going to do this.
