229!

Just had to mark this occasion because it's very exciting. I started this journey at 253 lbs after I had Iris. I flew through the 240's and trudged through the 230's. Felt like I was in the 230's forever.

A couple days ago I kind of had a breakthrough. I found a girl on Instagram who lost 75 lbs in one year. She posted about how she did it and it went something like this:

She stuck strictly within her daily points range Sunday through Friday. Saturdays were her weigh in days and on those days, she ate whatever she wanted for the entire day. Then, Sunday it was back to business. She also said she drank lots and lots of water! She was talking about how much she loved diet soda and never drank water (SO ME!) and she said she believed her success was attributed to water and she didn't think she would have accomplished so much without drinking so much water. So I'm aiming to drink about 100 oz a day.

I've been doing the "stick to your daily points" thing for 2 days now along with drinking my water. I'm happy to say I'm now down to 229. Which is so damn exciting! I'm hopeful this new approach to weight watchers will help me accomplish my goal of being 185 for my anniversary in October! I've gotten renewed hope! :)
