Long Time No Post

I know...I know. I haven't posted in 2 months. Why you might ask....I really don't know. Part of it is that I really don't think anyone is keeping up with this blog anymore...and part of it is that I had gotten a bit frustrated with myself and my weight-loss. I'm not losing it quite as quickly as I was. But then again...I'm not really trying all that hard. I am still drinking my water like I should...but when it comes to eating...I haven't been watching it too closely. I would eat and go beyond that point of satisfaction and I would say "Julie...you blew it again!!".

I have been stepping on the scale occasionally though and been surprised with what I've seen. I've not been gaining by large amounts. I have lost at times...but when I have gained it has been a couple of pounds here and a couple of pounds there. When I would gain those couple of pounds I would lose them right back again within the week. Working and staying active has certainly helped. I have been walking to my WATP dvd but not on a regular basis. I really should do better with that.

I hope you all have been doing better than I have and that you stick with it better than I have. I also hope you are still drinking that water. I would not be me if I didn't stress that part to you like I ALWAYS do!! LOL!!

Hang in there and I'm going to hang in there too. I've come too far to go back now!! I only have 18 more pounds to go till I get to my final goal. I realize that last 18 pounds will be the toughest to get off...but I don't care...I'm determined with the help of the Lord to get there.

I'm Still Here

I know. Long time no post!! It's been 3 1/2 months. I have not lost sight of my goal in weight-loss though. I do feel as though I have let you all down though. I was trying to keep up with you all and how you were going and trying to be an encouragement...and I have failed at that. Please forgive me!! I pray you have all kept up your weight-loss endeavors though.

I haven't been counting points or watching what I eat too much. But I have kept up with my water drinking. I am still making progress although it is slow progress. But slow progress is better than no progress. I have lost another 2.2 lbs since my last post. 2.2 lbs in 3 1/2 months is not a lot...but I had also gained a few pounds back....not many..but a few. I'm thankful that the Lord is continuing to help me to lose weight though.

I am praying I will meet my goal of losing my 21 more pounds sometime this year. I'm not going to put a short time limit on myself because then I will stress about it. I don't want to do that. But I do hope to attain that goal by the end of 2009. I am a believer in not setting unrealistic goals for myself. When I do that I get frustrated and then give up. I don't want to do that. I also hope to get back to exercising again (which I wanted to do at the end of last year and never did).

Have a great day and a great 2009 and don't give up!! Let's do this together with the help of the Lord!! And don't forget to DRINK THAT WATER!!!
