Happy New Year! Last time I wrote in December, I was trying to get to my end of year scale goal. I wanted to reach this magic number that I had determined somewhere in June or July. I calculated the math and the reality of possible weight loss, developed a plan of attack and viola! I had a target scale goal. Come December, I made that last dubious post about "weeeelllll, maaaayyyyybe I coooooould lose 10 pounds in a month? But it probably ain't gonna happen." Welp, I can confirm that it definitely and absolutely did NOT happen. Shocker, I know. The good news in my yearly reflection is that my total weight loss for the year (as measured strictly by the scale) was 12 pounds. Woo hoo. Not too shabby! Even though during the year I lost and gained the same 5 or 6 pounds from February to November and lost the remaining weight in November/December, when I regained my focus. But that's all ok. This whole entire blog and experience is supposed to be about the journey. It's supposed to be about the successes. The struggles. The frustrations. The celebrations. The plethora of "stuff" that weight loss is about. And my cup runneth over in 2019. I even had a failed Weight Watcher attempt in there and a eye opening, and discouraging meeting. I was hating my job, interviewed for a new job (feeling so incredibly fat and inadequate), started a new job (feeling so incredibly fat and inadequate), reconnected with calm.com to deal with that whole "feeling fat and inadequate" thing (must I insist on them going hand in hand?) and all the while, getting older.


Recipe from 21 Day Fix

So, I've been at it again. I started at the end of December, planning and figuring the next magic number on the scale for May 2020. This would be 38 pounds less than I was when I weighed in Monday morning and started my new 21 Day Fix cycle. So far, I have worked out 6/6 days with laser beam focus and intensity. I have been 90% on point with my on-plan eating, limiting my treats as well as planning for them so they are not near as devastating as they had been last year. I have also gone back into the kitchen to whip up some on program treats. These double chocolate cookies from my 21 Day Fix booklet are AMAAAAZING! The first batch I made were too greasy and contained waaaaay too much coconut oil for my palette I used the 1/4 CUP the recipe calls for. Yep. CUP. Yikes. Then, I made them again with less oil, however, tried a different flour; a high protein flour that was different than what I used in the first batch. The high protein flour made the second batch with less oil too grainy. But I got the oil just about right. Sigh. I must confess that even with these mishaps, these cookies do taste AMAAAAAZING! So, I'm back at it this afternoon to try the less coconut oil and oat flour mix and am hoping for those Goldilocks results. Fingers crossed. I also have some bananas ripening for those 2 ingredient banana and oat breakfast cookies that are also on program. So, I'm starting 2020 strong and focused. I am obliterating that untrue correlation between fat and inadequate and recommitting to a meditation practice as well. The mental is as important (if not more) for this 100 pound loss (technically 88 pound) journey.


See you on the next check in. Walk in beauty and peace, my good peeps. \m/\m/
