week 3 recap

now I realize that a loss is a loss and its better than nothing.  I guess I just feel like I have been working very hard and have been very careful about everything I eat....especially considering the way I used to eat and that it was a week full of holiday parties and get togethers.  Never-the-less, it did give me a little push to be a bit more dedicated this week so Im hoping I have a better week this week...even with Hanukkah, Christmas Eve, and Christmas included.

week 3

The week went well, same exercise routine, same eating habits.  I was so proud that I had baked an enormous amount of cookies for friends and family.  Though I wasnt feeling like I had a big loss (just as I felt the week prior) I did at least feel that things would be pretty good considering I stepped up the exercise program a bit and was keeping up so well with the food choices I was making.  

I got on the scale and was crushed to see a .6 loss.  .6...... .6????  Are you kidding me???

week 2

Another great week.  The week flew by, I kept up with my same eating habits from the previous week and picked up an excersize routine on the wii fit.  The  week kept me hopeful but I feared for the worse as I didnt feel as successful as I did the week prior.  

I remember walking in to the meeting super nervous about the weigh in.  I reluctantly and frighteningly stepped on the scale.  And to my surprise, I had lost another 2.6lbs!  WOOT!  Of course I was hoping for a little more I was still very happy about my accomplishment and ready to go on to the next week!

week 1

Going to do a quick recap of each week that has already passed as Im starting my journal a little late.

Week 1 - was much easier than I had anticipated.  Cut out some of the huge things in my life....fast food and diet soda!  Never thought I would give up diet coke as well as I did.  But happy and proud that I did :)  

I felt good, I felt successful and was super excited going in to the weekly WW weigh-in.  To my surprise and delight I dropped 7lbs the first week!  A great start to a better me!

The beginning

The journey began on December 2, 2008.  It was time for change, time for a new me, time for a better me.  It was time to get healthy and loose the weight I had been so unhappy with for so very long.   Starting weight...way higher than I care to admit and am still not at a comfortable place to say.   I hope that very soon I can be proud to share my starting weight to share the success that I have gained.  So heres to the journey....
