Lela's battle log

[lela gypsypunk]

I've recently discovered (read: come to terms with) that I have gained back the majority of the weight I lost. My sidetracks included schoolwork + wedding planning + 40 hour week job.  I'm unhappy about this weight gain and I need a solid plan to get back on track.  I'm out of school for now, and the wedding has already happened; so this should be simple, like it was the first time since there's so much less to juggle. 

 

I'm going to workout 4x per week.  I will only have one helping of dinner.  If I have dessert it will consist of strawberries and 2 pieces of dark choclate.  I will to eat more veggies than my husband and to help with this I will eat more sweet potatoes. (love sweet potatoes, and now that I'm thinking about them, I want one)  My goal is to lose 11lbs by 11/01/14 or fit back into my jeans.  Most people think this is really easy, but I'm short and when I gain weight it all goes on my belly and hips first, so my shape changes drastically with every 5lbs.

 

I've got my workouts planned out for the next 3 weeks, so I'll keep posting them here and on my fitocracy.  I need some form of accountability.  Tomorrow will be a day where I wreck shop and sweat on the floor.  Wish me luck.

I am doing pretty good with my portions and my desserts. I'm trying to remember that the weight will come off slowly but surely, despite how much I want it off right now.

I don't care of its 10lbs or 100lbs, my weight has always been an issue for me. This is my Dragon to fight, that I will always have self love, no matter what size I am, or shape I'm in. Defeat is not an option, burpees are!
