The Art of the Hustle (Day 42 of 83)

I went to a screen writing workshop last weekend! I feel like we're twinsies. :)And I totally agree with the little / a lot differentiation. I've been hustlin' a little for about four months on this weight loss thing. Steady progress, but not anything that's going to 'wow' anyone. And I just passed the six-month mark until the wedding, so I think it's time for the big hustle. Ready or not!

Sweeet! It's always good to connect with other writers - particularly screenwriters :)Congrats on your progress!

We all know that particular form of torture, squinting at the mirror and avoiding those blubby thighs! Right? But you will kill it, you wear the clothes, they don't wear you...red lipstick and big smile, that's whats needed here...good luck!

Oh you sciencey gal; still, I believe you can do this, and you are right, alcohol is fun but doesn't help your diet bet challenge, I am trying to limit it to tiny tastes once or twice a week, I am in the wine appreciation field, so to speak, so it is part of the 'job'. Keep at it!

I'm trying to figure out my plan...What is your plan as far as eating? Are you doing low carb/ sugar or ? Are you exercising daily?

PDXJael

I've had similar thoughts to those above. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend this long form Atlantic piece on age and fertility. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/how-long-can-you-wait-to-have-a-baby/309374/

I have had two children ages 4 and 6, and I agree--better shape NOW than I ever was before. It's like you are EXTRA motivated to get that weight off after feeling so uncomfortable in your body. Now I'm losing as I'm signed up to be a surrogate! Once I start the IVF drugs I just know I'm going to blow up. So lose the weight...take family pictures...get pregnant, and do the 12 months of losing the weight all over again. Good luck to you!

Cabfranca

I'm excited for you, I am also losing weight, mainly for health and for fitness goals to be able to do more summer outings involving kayaks, and hiking. But also, a leaner grandma (in the future) will be able to chase toddlers and catch them, so I can smother them with kisses!

You know I love my bread, and cheese. If I had to give up either, it would be a tough one, but just give me one more greasy grilled cheese sandwich on my death bed, and I'd be a fulfilled, happy woman!

Smart thinking. This past year I have concentrated on weight loss INCLUDING every habit I enjoy, and to me it is the only way to LIVE while I DIEt.

The desert is in bloom with our warm days. I think you've had an early spring there, too. :-)

Cabfranca

OOoo, I just saw your Skull Rock video, it's like being there, thanks for sharing.Wish I WAS there. But I was hoping to see you running and cursing and see that rattlesnake.

Back on track! You can do it!

Those pounds WILL come off, you just have to be focused! Get extra water, watch your sodium, up your potassium a little (it can counteract some of the water retention from sodium) get PLENTY of sleep and be extra strict with your diet for the next few days. I had a similar issue last week where I went off the rails for a couple days and my weight jumped. Two days of extra water and intermittent fasting and 4 pounds came RIGHT off. Most of the time weight you gain quickly comes off almost as quickly.
