Stalls and Anniversaries

Jan 23, 2009

So I have been going through a little bit of a stall lately.  I know I lost my normal 6 pounds last month but it was an up and down month. I lost five pounds then gained it back then lost it again.  I am still going to the gym 4-5 times a week and I am trying to increase my workouts and intensity.  I really want to be down under 150 pounds so that I can say that I have lost 100 pounds.  I have to say that I have not been eating that great.  I seem to feel always hungry and am trying to keep busy so I don't snack.  Also my sweet tooth has been crazy lately. I try to keep it at bay with fruit but sometimes that just doesn't do it. I bought some sugar free girl scout cookies the other day but heck they have 9 grams of fat for 3 cookies. I don't think that's worth it. I have seriously thinking about doing a 3-5 day liquid diet again just to find my pouch again. I think it would really help me.  Maybe after my protein powder comes in the mail I will do it. I am so very happy with my weight loss though. I continue to get compliments and that feels good.  I am still wearing a size 12 and hope to be in a size 10 within the next couple of months.  I still want to lose around 20 more pounds but they are slowly coming off. 

My 10 year anniversary is next week. I can't believe my husband and I have been married that long. I feel proud of us. We have been through so many ups and downs. I haven't tried on my wedding dress again but I know it's going to fit because it's a size 14 and I'm definately a size 12 now. I actually weigh the same as I did around my wedding, maybe even less.  I wish my husband would try harder to lose weight. His job depends on him staying fit. When I went for this journey he promissed he would go on it with me. He wanted to lose 20-30 pounds and at first he did but recently with him working and going to school so much he has not been trying so hard and gained his weight back.  How do I get him motivated to get healthy?
