Sorry I've been so distant. Computer issues at work have kept me away, and will likely keep me away for a while still.
Anyway, my current weight is 173.6. I have finally hit a plateau, as I've been at this weight for 2 weeks straight. My Dr. apt is Thursday, and I am just praying for mercy that I have lost enough this month for him to give me another month's RX for the phen. Cross your fingers for me!
Even though I'm somewhat stuck at this weight, I want to give myself a HUGE pat on the back for being 173 lbs. I have no idea when my weight was last this low. This is huge for me. And knowing that I am so close to the 160's... it's almost like shock. As though I can't really quite wrap my mind around the idea of that.
Anyway, now I say I have hit a plateau, but I know exactly why I have hit it so I'm not sure if it even qualifies as a plateau. It's simple. Not tracking my intake as well, things like camping 2 weekends in a row, family bbq's, not making exercise my first priority, etc. The excuses go on and on, but I'm not here to make excuses for myself. I know what I've been doing wrong, and I'm changing it now (got up at 5:15 today and did 70 minutes on the elliptical, 500 calories burned and plan to keep it up) so I should be seeing a loss next week for sure.
Also I am going to start incorporating jogging back into my regime. On June 2 I jogged a mile (without stopping) in 10 minutes and 42 seconds. That's a HUGE record for me! I'd really like to get to where I can go farther than 1 mile without needing a walk break, and I want to sign up for another 5k to help motivate me. Actually, I think I will go search for one right now. I'll keep you updated!!
*Don't forget to X your fingers for my apt Thursday!*

It's great to have a concrete event you are training for. That gives you the structure you need to push your exercise regimen to the next level.
It's so wonderful that you've made it down to 173! We are all super proud of you! Plus, thanks for sharing all your insight. You have no idea how motivating it is.
Recently I started reading some of Isabel's diet and exercise philosophy. It's pretty simple, so I recommend you check it out. You can find it at www.TheDietSolutionProgram.com.
Keep up the good vibes! We love hearing from you, Mallory.
