#171 Hump Day

Well i kind of decided that I wanted to start the Hump Day blog post a little differently. It is sort of redundant to state at the beginning that it is Hump Day. Also by now everyone should know that I am nervous for tomorrow's weigh in. So from now on, I will try to steer clear of those 2 topics.

For the past two and a half years I have been on a weight loss journey.  I have been yo yo dieting my entire life and this weight loss journey is no different. I have hit several plateaus and have had many ups and downs. For example after my cousins wedding about a year ago, I stayed at 30 pounds lost for approximately 4 to 5 months. Needless to say I haven't lost that much more. Right now I am sitting at around 34 pounds. My goal for Thanksgiving was to get to the 40 pound mark. I have to think positively that I will accomplish this. I have about a month left. Lets just hope that I don't totally screw it up.

As everyone knows last week I had a burst of motivation and I exercised pretty much every day. This week not so much. I kind of took off exercising this weekend which I shouldn't have done. It was probably cause I only lost point 4 pounds last week and got a little discouraged. When I set my goal, I thought sure I can easily lose 5 pounds. It has proved to be harder to accomplish than I thought. However there is still time.

As my weight goes down, I have found the my inner fashionista is coming out more and more. I have found that I am caring more and more about my outer appearance. Before I was always the "fat girl," which was probably all in my head. I know I shouldn't say that and if people knew I felt that way they wouldn't understand. However I have always been the bigger girl my entire life so I would hide behind that and my personality. I was lazy and didn't really care what I looked like. I have still have this constant fear and I have dreamed about it that I will wake up one morning and will look in the mirror and all my weight will come back.

I did a little Zumba for the Wii last night earning myself 4 activity points for the day. It usually is a lot more but I didn't do an entire hour like usual, but I still did something right?

I am going to change topics.

I have stated before that I am donating my hair to Locks of Love. So last night after my hair was dried I kind of measured my hair. To get the cut I want, I have to grow it about 7 more inches. Below is what I would like my hair to look like once I cut it except I really like my "wisps." I want something short enough that I will actually wear it down but long enough so that I can put it up in a pony tail if need be.

So sticking with the hair topic; my hair started off down and lasted for maybe 2 hours. My goal tomorrow (weigh in) is to wear it down all day. Lets hope I can do it. I don't know why I keep putting it up. This morning for instance, I spent a lot of time straightening it. Why on earth would I put it up?

Well I think that is enough rambling. Have a great day!!!!
