A little setback

So last weekend, my boyfriend and I moved into our new house! We're thrilled about it all being first time home owners. BUT of course with moving comes disorganization and lost items. Some of these temporarily misplaced items included my Medifast meals. So during the moving days, I was not on plan. And yes, I indulged.

I went for my weigh-in on Wednesday and I gained a couple of pounds. CRAP! First gain since I started this weight loss journey in May.

A little disappointing but certainly not a surprise since I also didn't have time to do a formal workout this past week outside of the moving activities of moving boxes.

So now I'm back on track and hoping that my body gets back into fat-burning mode fast.

I also wanted to put down reminders of why I want to lose weight in the first place:
1) To be healthier. Now that I'm over 40, it's more important than ever for me to be more mindful of my weight. I'd like to get out of the Overweight BMI range.
2) To look better. This translates to wearing smaller sized clothes and feeling sexier for my man.
3) To run easier. Now that I'm officially signed up for the half marathon in November, I want to do anything possible to make the run easier - including losing a few pounds!

To me, if I'm at 145 by my birthday in October, I'll be happy! So that's going to be my short-term goal. It's 8 lbs away, 6 and a half weeks away. Do-able? Yes.
