Another week behind us. Didnt do so well went over my flex points by 25 this week, thats alot. My weigh day is tomorrow, and I ve done really good the last two days. Stayed within my point range and exercised so Im hoping for a 2# loss. That would put me at 10#s in my first month and I think that is very acceptable. After I totally splurged on friday, I kind of recommited myself. This is the 2nd wk in a row that I have went over my flex pts and there really isnt a reason for it. So this wk Im working on MORE self control and more excercise...lets see if I can achieve both! Still keeping in mind my goal to get down to 10% by the end of Oct, before I go on vacation. Thats down to 207.5 so that means I have 14.5 lbs to go. Can I do it??? Well I have a month and a half so hopefully! And as soon as I get back from vacation my goal is 190 by new yrs. Thats about 5 lbs more than I weighed when I got married and about 15 lbs more than when I first met my husband, so those will be exciting times. Im really hoping that I get to my ultimate goal by the end of May for our Anniversary. And that is 125-130. Again, will I make it??? I dont know but I sure am going to try. I am commited, for the long term. The thing I like the most is that I realize were I am, and I dont want to be here and I am commited to making the change for the better, for my future. OK theres my spill, hopefully Ill look back on this in a couple of months and be really proud of myself! haha---till next time----Cristina
So today was a really bad day diet wise. Lets just say after I added everything up I ate 71 pts today. Well we went to and As game and then there was this huge family bbq so I went waaaaayyy over. Thats ok though because Im right back on it tomorrow. And since the husband and I are both off, we are going to go for a really long bike ride. The only thing that sucks is that my WI is tomorrow. Today I got on the scale and it was at 220.5 which is awesome cause that means I hit my 10 pound goal. But my official WI is tomorrow so I dont know what it will say I like the fact that my husband is hiding the scale from me. He lets me weigh on weigh day and them hides it the reast of the week because I was obsessed with weighing everyday, which isnt healthy. Now when I get on the scale, its a big loss and it feels better. Especially cause this week, I didnt feel like I was losing anything and I did. I think it s better this way. Anyways, better go to bed have to have energy for the ride tomorrow-----Cristina
So today was a good day..work sucked though. It was soooo busy, but at least the day went by pretty fast. I have a three day wknd so I guess bankers hours pay off. I have the worst time wanting to excercise because Im not a morning person and I get home too late to want to do anything, so last night I signed up for Netflix and ordered just workout tapes. Im hoping that this will get me motivated. I ordered everything from Carmen Electra Strip Aerobics to yoga to crunch. I am bound to like something. My problem is I get discouraged when I dont see big results. I am doing awesome on my diet but I want the weight to come off faster and I know that that means excercise. Now I just need to get my butt in gear. --till next time---Cristina
So today I am writing my first blog. I thought that it would be a good idea to do this for my own reasons. I want to record how I feel as I am losing weight and would like to be able to reflect on where I have been. I have been doing weight watchers for about three weeks now, so far I am at 7 pounds but my official weigh day isnt until monday. I have done ww before and had lost about 15#s right before i met my husband which was Jan of 2003. My low was at 169.5. Then I went off of it. My highest weight has been 230.5, which is why I decided that I need to do something about my weight. I am only 22 and am spending my whole youth being uncomfortable and fat. I am only 5"1' and technically I am only supposed to be 120#'s. My goal is 125. Before I get there ihave mini goals so it doesnt seem like such a big task. My first one is to get down to 205 before I go on my trip to Texas, which is at the end of Oct. I know I can do it but I need to step up my excercise. The diet is easy. I dont view it as a diet at all, I am just learning how to eat right. If i want a piece of chocolate, I eat it and just right down my points. Its too easy, especially the fact that I do it all on the computer and in the comfort of my own home. I have even gotten two girls from work to join with me. Its very encouraging. Anyways, I just wanted to get this started. But its late and Im tired---till next time---Cristina
