#91 Weekly Weigh-In

I have decided to post this blog a little later than usual just to see if people will be able to read it more often. I had another gain this week which is .2 (point 2). For the last couple of weeks I have been going in the wrong direction; this is definitely not the direction I want to go in. I realize I need to get over it because today is the start of a new week.

So far today, I have tracked every little thing that has touch my mouth. I have about 10 ppv (points plus values) left for my day, which isn't too bad. Lets just hope I can continue to track my food.

God must have been telling me something cause last night's meeting was exactly what I needed. It was mainly about how feel about ourselves after we go off plan. Instead of getting down on yourself, you should tell yourself it is okay and move on.
I firmly believe that you and only you can control the outcome of your weight loss journey. If you aren't ready, than you will not be successful. I really need to get back to why I wanted to lose weight in the first place. I have been at a stand still for quite some time now and I am ready to move on and finish losing my weight.

I got to think positive about myself if I want to succeed. For the last couple of weeks, I have given myself for of an exercise challenge. The goal of this challenge is to exercise at least 5 times a week; then I will work my way up to more days once I have mastered the 5 day challenge. Since my week starts on Friday's, my weight loss week that is, today marks the start of a new week.

Right now my body is exhausted after 3 days of high energy Zumba; my legs, arms, and hips are sore and my body is just exhausted. The last two weeks I have only made it to 4 different days of exercise. Tonight, I plan to walk on my parents treadmill. My goal is to eventually to take up running. I know, I know running is supposedly bad for your knees, but I am challenging myself to try to achieve that goal.

Mini Goals

• Track everything that touches my lips and actually look up the ppvs and stop guessing what the points plus values are. 
• Try to be actively conscious of what I eat on the weekends and try to make myself track even on the weekends. 
• Exercise over the weekend whether it be swimming laps, doing Wii Fit, or walking on the treadmill. I need to make exercise part of my everyday life.
• Add more fruits and veggies to my diet. I need to make sure I get my daily values of these if I want to succeed. Plus most are tasty and good for me. 
• Cook for myself. I need to stop relying on my mother to cook for me because she isn't responsible for my weight loss journey.
• Finish The Great Gatsby. I have about 20 or so pages. I am ready to be done with it so that I can start something new.
