I made it to 214 lbs by my one year check-up at the end of May. Not where I wanted to be, but not bad, if I do say so myself. I am currently bouncing around between 206 lbs and 209 lbs. My next goal is to reach 199 lbs and stay under that 200 lb mark for the rest of my life.
The past month has been crazy with wedding cake, brownies, and bem casados (wedding cookies) all provided by me. My husband put together some pita/cracker/bagel trays with hummus and made a large pan of macaroni and cheese. A lot of snacking, but I still lost some weight. So I was thinking that if I can get back on track now, maybe it won't take too long to reach that goal. I almost feel like I need to get to 195 before I will feel safe since my weight fluctuates a bit depending on the time of the month. But then again 199 is such a milestone. But how am I going to feel after I reach 199 and I bounce back to 200 due to monthly issues. I can't decide. But I am reaching for it, whatever it is.
I am not much of a selfie person, nor to I tend to try and have other people take my photo. So far I haven't found a lot of shots of myself. Old habits die hard, but here is a picture from the night before the wedding. Only edited to protect the identity of the women with me as I didn't ask them if I could post this.
I am working one job. I am starting business/culinary classes next month. I just made my first wedding cake and got a ton of compliments. I got compliments on the cookies and brownies too. I was told to go into business for myself. I told them that is the plan. I am feeling good and excited about what the future holds for us.
