Focus on losing the last few pounds


It was a hot and sweaty workout – but I felt good and finished in the 30 min time limit. My upper body is sore from yesterday’s workout – a good sore! I felt really good about today’s workout. It was hard and challenging but it was great. I feel good and was in a great mood.

After talking with Kimmy during my run on Saturday – I decided to get focused on losing the last few lbs I want to lose and that means really being aware of what I am eating and eliminating my usual night-time, post dinner dessert. It is usually a Skinny Cow ice cream cone. I love ice cream and this satisfied my craving while keeping the calories low. Kimmy is right though – if I really want to lose the rest – I need to be on lockdown and eliminate those extras. It’s a matter of how much I want it.

I am tracking it on livestrong.com – My Plate so that I can be more aware of what I am eating.  As Kimmy said – there is a reason they call the last few lbs the stubborn ones!
