Week 9

Ok, it's Saturday. So this means... weigh in day!

Let me preface this by saying I worked out for 60 minutes Sat, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, and Fri this week. So I thought ok I did a great job with staying on track and going everyday.

So I went this morning, Here are my results:

191.6 lbs.
lost 1.0 lbs.
total loss 11.4 lbs.

So I am happy I lost this week but just a tad disappointed it wasn't more. But it is fine because it was a loss! And I feel good about going to the gym everyday of my vacation. There were a couple of days that I didn't want to go but I made myself do it.

Here a couple of things that I keep repeating to myself while on a dreadful machine and I have icky sweat dripping off my face (which I HATE.)

I ask the question- Do you want your thighs to rub together any longer?
The answer-NO. I want to be able to walk without my inner thighs touching eachother.

I ask the question- Do you want to get into size 12 again?
The answer- YES. Just this week I bought size 14 for the first time in 3 years. I can't even tell you how long it's been since I wore size 12. Actually probably in high school. So 10 years.

I ask the question- Do you want to be single for the rest of your life?
The answer-NO. Now this one is kind of tricky because I know I'm not magically going to start dating when I hit a certain weight. But I do know that right now I'm not attractive. And I know weight is such a small part of the whole scheme of things but for me I need my confidence back.

I ask the question- Do you want to die from a heart attack?
The answer-NO.

I ask the question- Do you want to continue to have to wake up in the morning and try on 3 different outfits to find one that makes you look less fat?
The answer-NO.

Just a few questions that continue to ran through my head.

I want to add that Jess joined me this morning at Weight Watchers. So she has now started her weight loss journey. She has a good reason- B-A-B-Y.

My reason was bad nutritional habits and lack of physical labor. It's a horrible combo. But I am working on changing those bad habits.

On a happy note, I have made it to my 5% target!

For my height, I should be between 120 lbs and 150 lbs.

So my goal is 150 lbs. So when it's all said and done that will be 53 lbs. I don't like saying my final goal because sounds so large. And so difficult. So I will stick to %s!

My next goal is 10% target and that's 20 lbs.

Ok, another happy note I got my hair cut and my roots touched up. I have keep those grays under control. They sneak up way too fast.

Happy Easter!
Love, Me
