I am going to do my introduction now since I tend not get to get on over the weekend. My name is Stephanie. I am married with 2 kids (9 & 10). My husband and I will celebrate our 12th anniversary in just a few days (October 9th). There most likely won't be any celebrating any time soon though. He has a huge project rolling out at work and will be working tons of hours. This doesn't happen often. Just bad timing this time.
I started in the group I think in March. I know it was before my kids spring break but sometime close to it. I did really good over spring and lost 10 pounds. The last month to month and a half have been really bad and i have gained some of the weight back. I have been really stressed out about a lot of things. Work, my daughter with her vision issues and all of a sudden being very clingy, my son and school issues, helping my husbands grandmother get her house up for sale (we have to explain the process over and over to her. She does not understand it) and helping my mom with my grandparents house. The stress has been really though at me in all directions. Things are starting to get better and work themselves out.
This month I am not going to use stress as my excuse to not hit my goal. There is no excuse for being lazy. I am going to go back to a weight goal and see if this helps me any. I am going to challenge myself to lose 2 pounds this month. I am going to start with a small number. I know I can hit this if I get out of my own head.
My original goal when I started my journey was to weigh 120 pounds by January 1. I am at about 140 now. I need to change this goal as I feel like I am not going to make it. I am going to change it be to lose 10 pounds by January. That will put me at about 130. I think that is more doable.
