Phase 2 Week 6

So it's now been 6 weeks into phase 2. I can't believe that 6 weeks has already passed. This week lost another 3.5 lbs. So my weight to date is now 121. I am almost at my goal weight which was when I started 120. My new ideal goal weight is 115. I think that I should be able to hit it by the end of phase 2 which is another 6 more weeks.

I am a little afraid that I will have a major set back. This set back is going to be my vacation in Miami. I am going to celebrate with my cousin b/c she's gettin married in August! YAY! This little mini mommy vacay is what I've been referring to as my bender weekend. I am absolutely sure that alcohol will be my main source of nutrition for that entire weekend. This is very bad especially if I want to continue losing weight. This is going to be my toughest challenge yet. According to my goals I now have 6 more lbs to go to hit 115. if I have an entirely bad 4 days weekend (food included), it is possible that I could gain some lbs back. The WHOLE reason I started this program was to lose weight specifically for this vacation.. Now wouldn't that be ironic if I did all of this hard work just to gain some of it back on this damn trip.

I have a plan mapped out for this but you know once alcohol is involved all kinds of things go out the window. So I'm hoping that I can at the very least maintain eating well while drinking. If not, I will have to do some SERIOUS making up for it when I get home. I am going to try and work out at least twice while I'm down there. If I can manage that then I should be good to go.

Despite all of this I do have something to celebrate. Even though I pigged out last week for 3 straight days I still lost weight. This was tough. Once Monday hit I was back on track and working out EXTRA hard. I even think I am going to add an extra day just to stay on top of things. I really need to make sure that I can maximize my workouts just in case I need to if I can't work out next week.

Goal for this next couple of weeks, maintain weight and or if I can by some miracle lose a lbs....
