#159 Weekly Weigh In

Last night at weigh in, I learned that my hard work this week actually paid off. I lost 2.4 pounds, bring my total weight loss back to 35. I couldn't be more excited and proud of myself. So my lesson was learned. It pays off to use the tools WW (weight watchers) has given me. If I track honestly and true, then I actually see what goes into my body. For me, I don't want see the not so healthy foods I eat on my tracker, so maybe if I know that I am going to be writing it down I won't actually eat it.

Now I have to be honest to the world and to myself; I am going to eat stuff that isn't healthy or good for my body. No matter how many times people tell something is bad for me I will still want to eat or drink it. My weak spot in food is desert especially ice cream, cake, cheesecake, etc. Honestly I crave it all. So if I know I want to eat something (which is pretty much all the time), I need to eat in in moderation. Meaning watch my portion sizes.

Last night's meeting was 8 Weeks to Thanksgiving. Yikes that came fast. We are given homework, which that we were asked to track so that we can trade trackers with someone else at next week's meeting. I will see how that goes. LOL

We were also asked to make a goal to how much we wanted to lose before the holidays. My goal, which I low balled, is to lose 5 pounds which would make my total around the 40 pound mark around Thanksgiving. But lets really think about this: If I lose 1/2 a pound for the next 8 weeks, I will be at 4 pounds lost. If I lose one pound for the next 8 weeks, I will be at 8 pounds. If I lose 1.5 pounds each week, I will be at 12 pounds lost. So we will see how I go. I am not going to kill myself to be so strict that I loose 12 pounds in 8 weeks, because if I truly honest I won't do it. So I am going to do best for the next 8 weeks. If I can lose 2.4 pounds this week alone with just tracking, cutting down on soda, and attending 2 Zumba classes in one week, then I should be ok.

So tonight my high school graduating class is being honored at the Homecoming game, which is 10 years. I am going. I still can believe I have been out of high school for that long already.
