#169 Weekly Weigh In

TGIF!!!!!!!! It is the start of a new week for my weight loss journey. I had a loss of .4 pounds (point 4). That is nearly half a pound. A loss is a loss right? Don't get me wrong I am excited to have lost weight instead of gained. I am moving in the right direction. I just thought with all the exercise/activity I did that I would have lost more. Maybe it will show up next week. Lets hope my motivation continues this next week.

I still have 5.8 pounds to go to reach my 40 pound goal lost before Thanksgiving. I have about 4 weeks. If my calculations are right, I I have to lose about 1.5 pound each week from now on. To be realistic, I don't know if I will accomplish my goal which will be disappointing. So I have to keep saying like The Little Train that Could, "I think I can; I think I can."

What has to change? I need to stop snacking so much at night especially on chocolate. I need to stop drinking so many diet cokes and drink a lot more water. I really need to pay attention to what I actually put in my mouth. I need to eat more veggies and fruits and less junk food. Hey, it is just one month, I can don't anything for one month right? With this small change and if I can continue with all the exercise, I think I just may be able to accomplish that task at hand and get to my goal of 40 pounds lost. 

The Color Run: I am training for this 5K but not in the usual way. I think my doing an hour of Zumba each day will probably work instead of getting on that darn treadmill. It is on 3.1 miles so I think I can do it. The last time I did a 5K (the one WW use to have), I finished in 50 minutes. My goal is to finish under 50 minutes. I just want to beat my time.

Last night's meeting was what I needed. It was about Late Night eating. So this week I will really pay attention to what I am eating especially at night. I am keeping my fingers crossed. 

Have a great weekend!!!!!!
