25 by 25 and 2011 Wrap-up

The past couple of weeks have been hard on the diet... I gained a few pounds week before last, but then somehow I actually lost most of those this last week (although I have no idea how!)  So now I'm back to 0.2 pounds above my lowest, and I'm getting back on track this week.  I will definitely not be making my 25 by 25 since I have 2 weeks and almost 12 pounds left, but I still think it has been a good motivation for me the past couple of months and I'm happy with what I've accomplished this year.

Total weight loss for 2011- 28.2 pounds

I've also decided to create a new blog for 2012, creatively entitled "Bethany in 2012," so head there to see a wrap-up of the past year and new goals for 2012.  

25 by 25 (12-19-11)

So I forgot to update after I weighed in last week... but this past week hasn't been very good, so I weighed the same today.  I rolled my foot really bad about a week and a half ago, so I haven't been able to run, so that combined with graduation and family in town and all that jazz just made for a not very healthy week... Too much eating out, too much junk food.  But the good thing is at least I didn't gain!  However, I've gotten myself way off track, so I'm not sure if I'm going to make it before 25, especially with Christmas in there... But hey, I'm going to do the best I can and see what happens!

I lost 2.4 pounds this week.  It's better than I thought I did, but not as good as I was hoping. I'm about a week behind in keeping up with the mini-goals I set, so I really need to work hard the next few weeks, especially with Christmas coming soon.  I ate out too much this past week, so my goal this week is to eat at home more.  I also only exercised twice since it rained a lot, so I need to exercise more, even if that means doing a dvd inside instead of going running.  On the plus side, though, I'm over halfway to my 25, which is really encouraging!

Well, last week was Thanksgiving... I gained 1.4 pounds... which is less than I thought, so I guess that's good.  Really getting back on it this week!

25 by 25 Early Weigh-In (11-19-11)

I'm leaving this morning to go to Clinton for the week, and I don't know how close my parents' scales are to mine, so I figured I'd just go ahead and do my weigh-in today.  I've had another good week, losing 2.6 pounds since Monday, so now I'm even a little bit ahead of schedule for my 25 by 25 (which I'm sure will come in handy since this is Thanksgiving and all...).  Almost halfway!

Another great week this week!  I lost another 2 pounds.  It's sure nice to be seeing some numbers I haven't seen in awhile.  Also, I'm right on track for where I said I needed to be, so I've just gotta keep doing what I'm doing!
